More cracks than ever are appearing in the European Parliament over the EU’s position on Venezuela.
The European Parliament’s approved a resolution – with the support of conservatives and liberals – and attracting 310 votes in favour overall.
But, for the first time, the socialist group abstained.
“This vote has been different because for the first time there has been a very clear division, the socialist group has abstained and there have been many votes against, more than one hundred,” said Spanish MEP Javier Couso.
“Well, the PP, the conservatives and the liberals continue to maintain a position that is close not to what Europe should do, but rather follows almost in unison the extreme position of Donald Trump.”
