Maduro kidnaps Spaniards taking advantage of Sánchez's weakness and complicity

History shows that totalitarians, terrorists and - in general - criminals of any kind thrive on the fear of others.

This fact is applicable to dictators such as Vladimir Putin, to the terrorists of ETA and Hamas, to the communist dictatorship of Beijing and also to the socialist dictatorship of Venezuela, which has just kidnapped two Spanish citizens who were on vacation there, attributing to them accusations that can only be described as a hoax, within the particular style of a criminal regime that - like its Kremlin allies - systematically resorts to lies.

This kidnapping is no coincidence: it is Maduro's way of putting pressure on Sánchez to subject him to his whims, after the approval by Congress of the recognition of Edmundo González as president-elect of Venezuela, with the votes against of the socialists and their communist allies, who have once again acted as the Spanish puppets of the Venezuelan socialist dictatorship.

For years, Sánchez and his government have refused to recognize the Maduro regime as a dictatorship, exhibiting a cocktail of weakness and complicity towards that criminal gang, the same type of message that the Spanish socialists have been sending to a fugitive from justice like Carles Puigdemont, showing themselves willing to buy their support in exchange for concessions that violate the Spanish Constitution, and also to the satrap of Morocco, Mohamed VI, towards whom Sánchez acts as if he were his docile pet.

By displaying this weakness, the message that the Maduro regime receives is that it is worth kidnapping Spanish citizens, because Sánchez always gives in to the blackmailers, because he is stuck in a short-termism for which the only important thing is to stay in power one more day at any price. And to make matters worse, in this case the blackmailer and the blackmailed belong to the socialist ranks, a coincidence that Maduro takes as an advantage in his favor.

We Spaniards should take note of the effects of this situation. There is a criminal like Maduro governing Venezuela and an unscrupulous coward governing Spain, and in these conditions what no Spaniard should do is go on holiday to a country run by a dictator who can take him hostage. This is the consequence of having a government that displays so much weakness and complicity towards criminals of all kinds and that puts the personal desires and whims of its president before the national interest of Spain and the security of Spanish citizens.
