The Senate Foreign Committee urged the Government to "promote and participate, through the instruments of social assistance, as agreements and agreements with local and regional authorities," in the attention to more than 7,000 Venezuelan pensioners residents in Spain who have not received their pensions since December 2015 and are in destitution.

The motion, promoted by the Canary Coalition, was approved with the support of all groups, except Unidos Podemos*. Senator de Catalunya Yes that is Pot Sara Vilà, who had initially announced her abstention, finally voted against, claiming that the definitive text no longer asked to "dialogue" with the Venezuelan Government to solve this problem, but "continue to maintain the claims "to enforce the bilateral social security agreement. Vilà, who defended the actions of the Maduro regime, concluded "the Spanish government is not in a position to give lessons to any other government".

So much for Marxists supporting the "disenfranchised and powerless". Not when they have to choose between "El Pueblo" and party purity.

*Unidos Podemos is an Marxist coalition of small Spanish political parties that have pledged fealty to Chavismo and PSUV. They comprise (in total) less than 10% of the Spanish Senate.
