Bogota, April 25. The high representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, told EFE on Tuesday that the community bloc is willing to review the personal sanctions it has issued against senior Chavismo officials if “normalization” advances. democracy” in Venezuela and there are “free, transparent and inclusive elections”.
“We are even willing to review the personal sanctions that we have applied. The EU does not have economic sanctions that affect the population, but there has to be a coordinated process, a calendar process mutually acceptable to the parties,” Borrell said during the International Conference on the Political Process in Venezuela that is being held today in Bogotá.
The high representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs assured that this “review” would take place because these sanctions “are not eternal, the sanctions are not made to last forever, they are made to ensure that the process of democratic normalization advances.”
