MADRID (AFP) – Spain rejects allegations by Venezuela that Madrid was involved in a plot to destabilise the government of the Latin American country, a Foreign Ministry source said yesterday.
“Spain denies and categorically rejects any insinuation that it is involved in a political destabilisation operation in Venezuela,” the source told AFP after three Americans, two Spaniards and a Czech citizen were detained in Venezuela and accused of involvement in a plot against the government.
The government has “confirmed” that the two Spanish detainees are not part of Spain’s CNI spy agency “or any other state body”.
“Spain defends a democratic and peaceful solution to the situation in Venezuela,” the source said.
