Overview
- U.S. forces reportedly hit military sites in Caracas, La Guaira and Aragua, with U.S. officials claiming they captured Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, a claim not independently verified.
- Pedro Sánchez escalated his stance on Sunday, condemning a breach of international law, urging de‑escalation, and noting that Spain’s embassy and consulates in Venezuela remain operational.
- Podemos filed a non‑binding motion urging the government to reject the U.S. attack, demand the release of Maduro and his wife, sever ties with Washington, and begin procedures to leave NATO.
- Sumar and Podemos denounced the action as an imperialist aggression, while the opposition PP applauded the U.S. operation as precise and pressed for a transition to democratic rule in Venezuela.
- Hundreds gathered outside the U.S. embassy in Madrid to oppose the intervention, with Podemos leader Ione Belarra calling it “state terrorism” and urging Spain and the EU to isolate Donald Trump; some reports cite about 40 deaths from the strikes.
