Jan 3 - ⁠Spain will ⁠not ‍recognize a U.S. intervention in Venezuela ‍that violates international law, Prime ​Minister Pedro Sanchez said on ​Saturday, after U.S. forces captured long-serving Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in an ​overnight operation.

"Spain did not recognize the Maduro regime. ​But neither will it recognize an intervention ‌that violates international law and pushes the region toward ​a horizon ⁠of uncertainty and belligerence", Sanchez wrote on X, ‌after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would ‌run the South American country until ‌a "safe" transition was completed.

Sanchez also called on all parties to "think of ‍the civilian population, to respect the United ⁠Nations Charter, and to articulate a fair and dialogued transition."
