Sen. Rick Scott to EU: Do More to Enforce Sanctions on Maduro Regime
Senator Rick Scott released the below statement following reports that Spain’s Transport Minister Jose Luis Abalos met with Maduro’s illegitimate vice-president, Delcy Rodriguez, in Spain this week. Members of Maduro’s ruthless regime are banned from entering the European Union (EU). During Senator Scott’s meeting with Interim President Juan Guaido on Saturday, Senator Scott discussed the need for the EU to do more to enforce sanctions against the Maduro regime.
Senator Rick Scott said, “I called on the EU to join the United States and do more to help the Venezuelan people, and I was encouraged when the EU joined as a partner in this worldwide fight against evil. But allowing a Maduro official to enter the EU shows they are not strongly enforcing their own sanctions. More must be done. If we are serious about helping the people of Venezuela and getting Maduro to step aside, the EU needs to do a better job of enforcing their sanctions. And Spain, as a member of the EU, needs to do their part and not allow members of its government to legitimize Maduro’s regime. People are dying. Europe, the United States and freedom-loving nations around the world need to do everything in our power to isolate Maduro in Venezuela and cut off the supply of money from Cuba to Caracas.” Read more HERE.
El senador Rick Scott a la UE: Deben hacer más para hacer cumplir las sanciones al régimen de Maduro
El senador Rick Scott hizo la siguiente declaración tras los informes de que el ministro de Transporte de España, José Luis Abalos, se reunió con el vicepresidente ilegítimo de Maduro, Delcy Rodríguez en España esta semana. Los miembros del malvado régimen de Maduro tienen prohibido ingresar a la Unión Europea (UE). Durante la reunión del senador Scott con el presidente interino Juan Guaido el sábado, el senador Scott discutió la necesidad de que la UE haga más para hacer cumplir las sanciones contra el régimen de Maduro.
El senador Rick Scott dijo: “Le hice un llamado a la UE a unirse a los Estados Unidos y hacer más para ayudar al pueblo venezolano, y me animé cuando la UE se unió como socio en esta lucha mundial contra el mal. Pero permitir que un funcionario de Maduro ingrese a la UE muestra que no están aplicando fuertemente sus propias sanciones. Deben hacer más. Si tomamos en serio ayudar a la gente de Venezuela y lograr que Maduro se retire del poder, la UE debe hacer un mejor trabajo y hacer cumplir sus sanciones. España, como miembro de la UE, debe hacer su parte y no permitir que los miembros de su gobierno legitimen el régimen de Maduro. La gente se está muriendo. Europa, los Estados Unidos y las naciones amantes de la libertad en todo el mundo deben hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para aislar a Maduro en Venezuela y cortar el suministro de dinero desde Cuba a Caracas”.
