Brussels – Military cooperation, trade in crude oil, exchanges aimed at circumventing sanctions against Russia: the Iran-Venezuela alliance<\/strong>\u00a0is causing significant concern in<\/strong> the European Parliament. The entire Spanish delegation of the People’s Party (EPP) group frowns on the increasingly close ties between the ayatollahs’ regime and Venezuela’s de facto president<\/a>, and the European Commission must recognize that these fears are far from unfounded.<\/p>\n

“The rapprochement between Caracas, Moscow, and Tehran is of concern<\/strong>,” acknowledges the High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy of the EU, Kaja Kallas<\/strong>. The concern is\u00a0the “potential impact on democratic stability in the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region and on the EU-LAC partnership.”\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The European Union has already condemned Iran’s industrial and trade assistance to Russia<\/a> for the supply of military technology and products, particularly drones.\u00a0The novelty\u00a0of this alliance is the South American extension to Venezuela, with the EU never recognizing\u00a0Maduro as a legitimate president and the latter approving\u00a0the establishment of an Iranian drone production base on domestic soil — in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

The European Union intends to stop this. It is excessive to speak of an overthrow of Maduro’s government, but the twelve-star agenda includes delegitimization of the regime and erosion of consensus through support for opponents. “It is crucial to continue supporting the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people,<\/strong> to promote an enabling environment for civil society, and to uphold human rights,” Kallas said.\u00a0 “Working together with key international and regional partners is essential,” she added.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
