Felipe González: "If Nicolás Maduro is not there and we see his horror, I will not accept any excuses"

The former President of the Government of Spain Felipe Gonzalez He said Monday that when "next year, next year and next year"Nicolás Maduro no longer rules Venezuela and can be seen"very clearly"the horror of his"tyranny"will not accept"excuses"That you did not know what was happening.

"I will not accept the excuse that after Stalin or Hitler, many would have said," We could not even imagine, we did not know, we did not see him ". If you do not see it, put on glbades because the reality is obvious! ", warned, in an act in Buenos Aires, which ruled Spain between 1982 and 1996.

"And I will remind you that this excuse is very worn and is no longer valid. We must remove all protection against tyranny, "he said.

The Spanish politician felt that "next year, when there will be no Maduro, next and next"you can see"with all the clarity of the horror that lies under this tyranny"

"I believe that tyrants can not have paternity, they are just tyrants," he said.

That is why the former leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) repeated that he was "committed to democracy"and who rapes and drains"the space of freedoms"will have your"militant opposition"

"By the way, my old friend Daniel Ortega (president of Nicaragua) also helped us out of (Anastasio) Somoza (former dictator of Nicaragua) and now we have to help young students get out of the new Somoza, called Ortega, "he said.

"What worries me the most in the real situation of the civilization in which we live, is (…) the advent of non-liberal democracies, which do not respect the division of powers. who concentrates power in the executive, as in Poland or Hungary, "he added.

Consulted by a possible conflict of war between Colombia and Venezuela, González was brutal.

"There will be no conflict. Chavismo and madurismo spent a lot of money on weapons and made the first Kalashnikov factory outside Russia of the world. But do not worry … they made the factory but it does not work"he supposed.

In the same vein, he pointed out that the Venezuelan armed forces "are not able to say that they have the degree, for example, or the tools, necessary to engage a military confrontation. They are as useless as the rest of the country"

"The main problem in Colombia is Venezuela. And with the exception of Cuba, Colombia is the country with the most information on what is going on inside. It's obvious, after Cuba. Cuba knows everything and decides almost everything"he discussed between laughs.

González also referred to the intermediation of the former socialist president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (2004-2011) in favor of the dialogue of political forces in Venezuela, which has not yet borne fruit.

"If they ask me questions about Zapatero, who is my partner, who is my friend, they will not believe what I say. I do not understand it"he said.

"I have never been against dialogue. What I have been against is using the dialogue to gain a time that Venezuela does not have.. Cheat. And Maduro uses dialogue to deceive, "he said, convinced that Zapatero" is willing to promote a noble idea, the dialogue, which leads nowhere. "

The ex-president of the government insisted that he does not understand what happened to his co-religionist with the Venezuelan subject.

"You are not going to believe that I have never talked about half an hour of Venezuela with Zapatero. He's been there since 2015 and we've never talked about this for half an hour. I've always been available, but you already know the theory of the Chinese vase. I am available but Mexicans have learned that I have to take care of myself and not get into the world of fast bad, "he said.

González went on to stress that "if anyone thinks Maduro is going to call an election to lose them, he does not know Maduro", and recalled that the Venezuelan President has already said that"never again"will trigger an election"lose them"

"Why do not we believe the only truth that Maduro says?"he says, and bet he's recovering"a minimum of institutionality"in the country and do a census to go to a clean election in no less than nine months.

The former head of government has not considered that we can talk about "cold War"with what is happening in the Caribbean country.

"My question is: Will Putin play for Venezuela? No, my father. When will you find your old relationship with Trump with love? In all, I do not know how, "he replied, and lives in China the"big tectonic block"What"his Latin American project is not played, burning his chances with the tyrant Maduro"

"The most serious commitment is Cuba, because it is a matter of survival for Cuba, not because of what it receives from Venezuela, but because Cuba thinks that if the Venezuelan regime s' collapse, it remains in the forefront of the "tweet" ", with clear reference to Trump's ability to use the social network Twitter.

In the long conversation and among other topics, the former prime minister said that Latin America had a "great world privilege"

"He has a father who believes in God, Argentina, and another secular pope, Pepe Mujica, he has two influential popes in the world," he said.
