Former Spanish President Zapatero advocates world union against the US

USPA NEWS - Former Spanish Socialist President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero believes that the world must ally against the United States and put it in an "impossible situation." Zapatero, who since leaving the head of the Spanish Government in 2011 - after seven years at the helm of the country - has approached the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and has justified his repressive and impoverishing policy, participated last week in the fifth meeting from Group's Puebla, an organization made up of former leftist political leaders and Latin American intellectuals, where he lashed out against the Washington Government.

Zapatero criticized the attitude of the White House that, despite the serious pandemic caused by COVID-19, has not relaxed the pressure on Caracas or on Cuba. For this reason, he called for the union of Latin America, the EU and China, in order to put the United States in a "situation impossible" to resist. "I want to remember that it is very important that the Latin American and Latin American left make a dialogue with China to recover a multilateral order. Institutions like the United Nations, like the WHO, like the IMF, with more power, with more real governance, we have to make China, and hopefully the EU, many of us work in that direction, put the United States in a situation impossible,“ he said.

"Probably the most interesting thing in political terms is what is the effect, what will be the effect of this situation in the United States, the political and social effect. At some point the 'America first' and the 'Brexit' will have to turn around," he added. And he recalled that "it has been denied by the United States and no one has taken, from international organizations, with interest that there could be a humanitarian parenthesis on the subject of Venezuela and its blockades or Cuba. In short, it tells us when we are and the risk we have," concluded the former Spanish president. Until now, the Madrid Government has not spoken about Zapatero's words, which threaten one of Spain's main partners in international politics.
