Yolanda Díaz Engages with Argentine Unions Backing Maduro

Yolanda Díaz met with leaders of three major Argentine trade unions in Buenos Aires, all of which support Nicolás Maduro’s Venezuelan regime. The meeting addressed Argentina’s economic situation and has sparked controversy within Díaz’s political coalition in Spain, raising concerns about differing perspectives on foreign policy and human rights.

On Thursday, Yolanda Díaz, a prominent Spanish politician, held discussions in Buenos Aires with leaders from the three principal Argentine trade union centers: the Central de Trabajadores de la Argentina Autónoma (CTA-A), the Central de Trabajadoras y Trabajadores de la Argentina (CTA-T), and the Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT). These unions are known for their support of Nicolás Maduro’s government in Venezuela, having previously participated as observers in controversial presidential elections there.

During the meeting, Díaz expressed solidarity with the Argentine unions, which are currently challenging the “severe adjustment policies” enacted by the Argentine government. The union leaders, including CGT co-head Pablo Moyano, have publicly supported Maduro, even sharing social media posts featuring images of themselves with the Venezuelan leader.

The meeting has sparked significant controversy in Spain, particularly drawing attention from the political coalition Sumar, of which Díaz is a part. While Izquierda Unida continues to endorse Maduro’s policies, members like Más Madrid have distanced themselves from Díaz, expressing concerns over her endorsement of the Venezuelan regime and questioning the integrity of the elections in Venezuela.

Yolanda Díaz’s meeting with Argentine unions, known for their support of Nicolás Maduro, highlights significant ideological divisions within her political coalition in Spain. While she advocates for solidarity with these unions amid Argentina’s economic challenges, her associations have drawn criticism from within Sumar. This situation raises broader questions about foreign policy priorities and human rights considerations within the coalition.
