Spain confirmed that Juan Guaidó and Leopoldo López met at their embassy in Caracas

The Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs in office, Josep Borrellconfirmed Monday that the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela and proclaimed president of the country, Juan Guaidó, was seen this Sunday with the opponent Leopoldo Lopez, welcomed as "guest" by the ambbadador of Spain to Caracas.

"Yes, yesterday, in the normal contacts that our ambbadador has with all the agents in Venezuela, Mr. Guaidó visited the Embbady of Spain, he was present and also naturally met Mr. Leopoldo López ", Said Borrell at a press conference in Brussels after attending a Council of Ministers of the European Union (EU).

"But do not give yourself more importance than a simple routine meeting that the Spanish ambbadador has with the agents who participate in one way or one". other and which are relevant to the political process in Venezuela "He continued.

Borrell gave as an example that "Today, Mr. Guaidó was at the Embbady of Argentina."

The Spanish Minister stressed the fact that "The embbady is small" as a reason why LÓpez and Guaidó met and asked not to give this fact "more transcendence".

"I do not think that's why he becomes a center of Venezuelan politics", he said, referring to his words of a few days ago, in which he stated that this would not allow the embbady to become a "center of political activism".

So, Borrell said that "The fact that Mr. López is present does not mean that the ambbadador stops developing the activities that he normally develops."

The leader of the Venezuelan opposition is in the residence of the ambbadador of Spain in Caracas since May 1st., one day after the ephemeral military uprising against Nicolás Maduro's regime in Venezuela.
