Risk of US Sanctions Looms as Venezuela Roils Spanish Election

Martin Arostegui

   MADRID - The Spanish government's ambiguous relationship with Venezuela
   -- and the possibility of U.S. economic sanctions stemming from that
   relationship -- has emerged as an issue in the run-up to legislative
   elections this weekend.

   In a candidates' debate Monday night, centrist candidate Albert Rivera
   accused Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of "always being last in
   line and footdragging" on Venezuela. Rightist VOX party leader Santiago
   Abascal, meanwhile, accused the Socialists of jeopardizing Spain's
   important relations with the United States.
