委內(nèi)瑞拉反對(duì)派領(lǐng)袖抵達(dá)西班牙
Longtime Venezuelan opposition leader Antonio Ledezma arrived in Madrid, Saturday, where he was greeted by his family.
"Venezuela is not on the edge looking into the abyss. It is in the abyss," Ledezma said. "It's collapsing. And that's what I want to talk about with the (Spanish) Prime Minister Rajoy."
Ledezma, who had been under house arrest since 2024 for alleged coup plotting, said he escaped house arrest Friday and went to neighboring Colombia, passing dozens of police and army positions.
Before leaving Colombia, Ledezma said he was planning a “global pilgrimage” to fight for political freedom in Venezuela. Ledezma, the former mayor of Caracas, said he had spoken by phone with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, who offered his support.
Colombian immigration authorities said in a statement that Ledezma entered the country legally after crossing the Simon Bolivar bridge that separates the two countries.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro acknowledged the escape of Ledezma, who he mockingly calls “the vampire.”
The 62-year-old Ledezma had spearheaded street protests against Maduro in 2024 that led to months of violence. He spent a few months in jail, before being released and placed under house arrest in 2024 due to health issues.
長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)?yè)?dān)任委內(nèi)瑞拉反對(duì)派領(lǐng)袖的萊德斯馬抵達(dá)馬德里，受到他家人的迎接。
萊德斯馬說(shuō)：“委內(nèi)瑞拉現(xiàn)在不是位于懸崖邊緣，而是已經(jīng)陷入深淵。它正在崩潰。這就是我要和拉霍伊首相所談的。”
萊德斯馬自從被指2024年陰謀政變以來(lái)一直被軟禁。他說(shuō)，他星期五逃離軟禁，經(jīng)過(guò)幾十個(gè)警察和軍隊(duì)哨卡，最后抵達(dá)哥倫比亞。
萊德斯馬離開(kāi)哥倫比亞之前說(shuō)，他計(jì)劃走遍全球，為委內(nèi)瑞拉的政治自由奮斗。曾經(jīng)擔(dān)任加拉加斯市長(zhǎng)的萊德斯馬說(shuō)，他和哥倫比亞總統(tǒng)桑托斯通過(guò)電話，桑托斯對(duì)他予以支持。
哥倫比亞移民當(dāng)局發(fā)表聲明說(shuō)，萊德斯馬經(jīng)由兩國(guó)間的西蒙·玻利瓦爾橋合法進(jìn)入哥倫比亞。
委內(nèi)瑞拉總統(tǒng)馬杜羅承認(rèn)萊德斯馬已經(jīng)逃走，嘲笑他是“吸血鬼”。
62歲的萊德斯馬領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了2024年反對(duì)馬杜羅的街頭抗議。委內(nèi)瑞拉在那之后出現(xiàn)了數(shù)月的暴力。萊德斯馬被監(jiān)禁了幾個(gè)月，2024年由于健康原因被釋放出獄，但一直被軟禁。
