Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Venezuela

Contribution

My Lords, I wish to follow up on the previous question, because it seems to me that it is very good news to know that we are in touch with the opposition parties. There has always been a problem in Venezuela about uniting the opposition parties and that is why they are in the position they are in at this moment. But in terms of having proper democratic elections in Venezuela, will it not be necessary to have contact with the acting President? Can the Minister confirm whether or not our Government have made any attempt to contact the new acting President of Venezuela?
