Major European nations are considering imposing sanctions on Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro and several top officials for their recent crackdown on political opponents, although divisions remain over the timing of any action.

June 15, 2019

A total of five sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the deliberations publicly. “Our priority is not to impose new sanctions. But neither is it to relax pressure on members of the Venezuelan government,” said a Spanish foreign ministry official. “The primary focus at the moment is the dialogue in Norway.”

But the EU has been slower than the U.S. and Canada to confront Maduro, fearing it could wreck the possibility of a negotiated solution to the political stalemate that has exacerbated misery in a country where more than 4 million people — almost 15% of the population — has migrated in search of work and food abroad. The EU’s cautious approach has drawn criticism from members of Venezuela’s opposition, which believe it gives oxygen to Maduro’s government.

No es momento de considerar. Es momento de ACTUAR. El tiempo pasa y los niños siguen muriendo,. Venezuela es Tierra Católica, donde a España se le llama 'La Madre Patria'.

So they are backing American back Opposition... is this democracy

A year later and Eroupe is finally getting involved. So quick if them.

CNN needs to hurry and fly brianstelter to Venezuela and interview President Maduro before these sanctions, if he goes after, it may be a dangerous interview for Brian.

The entire world appears to be headed towards 'Balkanization' as more and more countries are being taken over by right-wing dictatorships. The 20th century's dictators (Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung, Saddam Hussein) are 'inspiration'(?) for Putin, Kim Jong Un, Maduro,

Viva Socialismo! Viva Maduro!

Let's put sanctions on Israel! Those Jews are not vaccinating their children and bringing back ancient diseases! antivax

👎🏼🤬

Political opponents of Maduro sold themselves to Trump & his God forsaken government. Trump puppy dogs. Europeans blindly aligning themselves with Trump's rogue state hell bent on regime change there!

Europe needs to solve their own issues. What are they doing about Colombia and the murder of social leaders? What are they doing about the scandal in Brazil and the unjustified imprisonment of Lula da Silva? There a lot of problem in Latin America, do something about.
