The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela, in coordination with our partners in the European Union and the countries of the region.
In constant contact with our Embassy and Consulate in Caracas and the consular emergency unit, we are closely following the situation of the Spanish community in the country.
All staff of the Embassy and Consulate of Spain in Caracas, as well as their families, are safe and well.
Spain calls for de-escalation and moderation, and for all parties to act at all times with respect for international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.
In this regard, Spain is willing to play a facilitating role to help achieve a peaceful and negotiated solution to the current crisis.
Spain recalls that it has not recognised the results of the elections of 28 July 2024 and has always supported initiatives aimed at achieving a democratic solution for Venezuela. It also recalls that it has taken in, and will continue to take in, tens of thousands of Venezuelans who have been forced to leave their country for political reasons, and that it is willing to help in the search for a democratic, negotiated and peaceful solution for the country.
