Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez strongly condemned what he termed a violation of international law in Venezuela, following the capture of President Maduro. While Sanchez's government condemned the act, his coalition partner Sumar described it as "imperialist piracy." The U.S. claims Maduro masterminded drug flow and held power illegitimately, charges he denies. The legality of the U.S. action is expected to be debated, as international law generally prohibits the use of force without UN authorization or self-defense.
