Spain ex-premier arrives in Caracas to help jailed leaders

A former Spanish prime minister has arrived in Venezuela, where he intends to help lawyers defending imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and Caracas mayor Antonio Ledezma, who is under house arrest.

Felipe Gonzalez flew from Colombia to Venezuela Sunday and was greeted by members of the two men's families.

Gonzalez was criticized by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro after announcing he would advise Lopez and his supporters. Venezuela's Foreign Ministry has said that Gonzalez isn't welcome in the South American country. He initially announced plans to come in May, but canceled that trip.

The longtime head of Spain's Socialist Workers' Party led the country from 1982 to 1996.

Wonder what the leftists here are gonna say about it. Probably something like Gonzalez being a traitor to his cause or becoming a sellout to the oligarchy or something of that sort.
