Weber, who is running to succeed his EPP Christian Democrat party colleague Jean-Claude Juncker to run the European Commission, said “everybody who has eyes in his head must see that in Venezuela we have a dictatorship, a socialist dictatorship.”
He suggested the European Union should change its decision-making process in foreign affairs from requiring unanimous votes to allowing decisions to be taken through majority votes instead. That, he said, would ensure decisions “are not anymore in the hands of governments like here in Greece which have obviously more contact with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and Maduro and not so much with the free world of democratic countries.”
Weber was in Athens to attend a two-day EPP group meeting.
Congratulation
