The government is monitoring the crisis in Venezuela and supports the desire for democracy.

PalmThe Balearic Islands government expressed its "prudence" on Saturday regarding the events in Venezuela and voiced its support for Venezuelan residents in the islands, after the United States announced the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores as part of a military operation that included bombing.

In a message on social media, President Marga Prohens assured that the Balearic government is "closely monitoring the situation" and is "in contact with and available to Venezuelans residing in the Islands."

For his part, US President Donald Trump announced that he will offer more details about the operation at a press conference in Palm Beach, Florida, at 5:00 PM (peninsular time).
