Patria Querida questioned Santiago Peña's meeting with Delcy Rodríguez in Caracas
The PPQ leadership said the Paraguayan president's visit to Venezuela harms the country's international image. It also rejected the diplomatic and commercial rapprochement promoted after the meeting.
The Executive Leadership of the Partido Patria Querida expressed its rejection of the meeting held by Paraguay’s president, Santiago Peña, with Delcy Rodríguez at the Palacio de Miraflores in Caracas. According to ABC Color, the opposition group said the image of the president alongside the Venezuelan leader represents an event that shames the country.
According to that outlet, the party said the visit affects Paraguay’s international reputation, considering that Paraguayan society has historically been supportive of the victims of the Venezuelan political and social crisis.
During the meeting, both governments signed a joint statement to move forward with the reestablishment of consular offices and the strengthening of trade exchange, with the aim of rebuilding bilateral relations after years of estrangement. However, Patria Querida said, according to ABC Color, that this step does not constitute a pragmatic decision, but rather a form of legitimization of the Venezuelan political leadership.
In its statement, the party leadership also directed personal criticism at Peña and said the decisions adopted by the Presidency do not represent the values or feelings of Paraguayan citizens.
