European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will skip the EU’s summit with Latin American and Caribbean states due in part to concerns over angering US President Donald Trump.
Nothing weird happening though, according to colombia1,euronews & ap.
I was curious myself, but basically many hot LatAm & EU heads of states cancelled for many reasons ( COP 30, Melissa, local national issues) and it had probably caused a domino effect. Kallas, Sanchez and Lula were there though.
Not sure what Trump sanctions have to do with this, as no other source mention them. Couldn’t open the link so idk
He is organising the meeting so there are additional tensions.
Tnx. Seems Petro is quite controversial figure doing some great things, and also some werid stuff like supporting Maduro.
Maduro isn’t liked at all in LatAm, Chavez was more popular though.
I couldn’t find anything on the EU stance on the venezuela boat strikes by USA. But Trump is doing crazy Trump stuff, and his violence & killing is against international law.
Venezula isn’t part of the Mercosur, so politically irrelevant to EU & Mercosur. The regime is a destabilising factor in LatAm. It’s also very sad for Venezuelans, great people, with great potential, but Maduro has to go first.
From an ethical/philosophical pov I agree: Crazy A.F. And from a pov of groupthink and Power dynamics, bullies & assholes get away with a lot of stuff, until they hit “the wall” and crash. I hope sooner rather than later.
You don’t know about the fact that Maduro has killed many Venezuelans, and caused a Venezuelan refugee crisis of 8 million people. So above all he’s a dictator, who has rigged elections. A socialist, imo, he is is not.
Argentina has just received $40 billion to vote for Trump’s favorit. If Venezuela doesn’t want to wait for a wall to appear, which other options would they have?
Venuela should have a (self exiled?) democratic elected and internationally accepted President ( opposition chief Edmundo González.)But idk what real options Venezuela as a people have under a dictator.
With “wall to appear” you mean the Gringo army, perhaps or?

This suggests an active Monroe Doctrine. Isn’t it weird that the EU accepts that? That undermines EU and CELAC souvereignity.
If Brazil can attend, all COP30 reasons are excuses.

The crazy part is that it works.
Why does Maduro have to go? Shouldn’t a country be allowed to be socialist?

Ed: name president
I mean the wall you were mentioning in your other comment.
It is clear what Venezuela should have, but can they have it if Argentina can’t?
You mean if Vezuela can have 40 B us$, and/ or a democratic elected President?
Venezuela should have both, but probably Trump won’t lend/give it I think.
