Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced plans to seek reparations from Spain for the injustices of colonialism. He criticized Spain for not acknowledging its past wrongs and praised Caribbean countries for taking similar action against former colonial powers like Britain and France.
During his broadcast show, Maduro accused Elon Musk of funding efforts to destabilize Venezuela after the elections, which he claimed to have won. He banned Musk’s social media platform in the country, sparking a feud between the two.
Maduro condemned Spain for endorsing Columbus’ actions as a civilization process and described them as criminal acts. He emphasized the need for accountability and recognition of historical atrocities committed during the colonial era.
Maduro’s bold stance against Spain’s colonial legacy and his confrontation with Elon Musk highlight the complex political landscape in Venezuela and the ongoing fight for justice and accountability.
