The arrest of María Corina Machado has also been denounced by the Government of Spain. “Given the information about the arrest of María Corina Machado, we express our total condemnation and our concern,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed in a statement.
In the note, they extend their words to Rafael Tudares, Carlos Correa, Enrique Márquez and the rest of the opponents. Likewise, the Spanish ministry has requested to “protect and safeguard” both the physical integrity and freedom of expression” of everyone, “especially that of opposition political leaders.”
The president of Panama has also joined this request. In a message on his X profile, José Raúl Mulino, has asked on behalf of the country for “full freedom” for Machado, as well as “respect for his personal integrity.” “The dictatorial regime is responsible for his life!” he concluded.
