| >n Europe, the Venezuelan crisis is largely ignored Sure, the last 5 years of National TV Stations here in Spain talking about Venezuela 24/7h just didn't happen. >our current government is more or less on friendly terms with Maduro's government and there is little insensitive to do anything about it. You mean the PP too?
https://www.google.es/amp/s/m.publico.es/espana/gobierno-raj... Also, yes, we're not in bad terms with Venezuela. That's basically our policy with S. America, to try to be friends with everyone. Heck, even Franco was friends with Castro. This type of policy goes a long time ago and it's not because "we are socialist sympathisers". >The left-leaning media has, for the most part, ignored the topic (El Pais for one...), https://elpais.com/tag/venezuela/a "Sure". >despite the increasing number of Venezuelan asylum-seekers arriving in Spain each year Yes, those poor, poor migrants. https://www.eleconomista.es/construccion-inmobiliario/notici... Most of them sadly (even the poor ones) don't give a fuck about Venezuela once they're here, because come on, will you really want to go back to a shithole vs one of the best countries in Europe in regard to quality of life and such? >and any meaningful efforts to boycott anything would need the media/government's support. Indeed. But not only "media" and "government" also other parties, like PP or Ciudadanos, which remind us of how bad Venezuela (because that filthy podemita is gonna expropriate your house, just like it has happened in Madrid with Carmena or in Valencia with Joan Ribó) but are yet to pretty much do nothing about it even when they were in power. |
Nitpick: I guess you meant Fraga
