Can’t speak for other situations but as spanish I must clarify that the reasons why the Spanish PP party “observers” were kicked out is because they lacked the proper VISA to be officially electoral observers and the proper invitation to act as such from the electoral authorities from Venezuela, which more than 1000 observers from the whole electoral field (some of them far right BTW) managed to get, because they followed the proper bureaucracy to get them.
They traveled on a tourist VISA and when they got rejected they claimed in social media as if they were almost being kidnapped by Venezuelan authorities.
An embarrassment for my country is what they are…
