Spanish employers' association leader on Venezuela: "You replace Franco and Franco establishes democracy"

Antonio Garamendi, president of the Spanish business organization CEOE, commented on the political situation in Venezuela during an event in O Grove, Spain, on October 3. He characterized the recent transition of power from Nicolás Maduro to Delcy Rodríguez, which followed an intervention by the United States, as a superficial change that fails to address underlying democratic concerns.
