On Friday, Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albarez said his country “(demands) that the circumstances” of Alexei Navalny’s death be clarified.
The Russian ambassador in Madrid was summoned to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs a few hours after similar decisions had been taken by the governments of Sweden and Germany.
The British Foreign Office had on Friday night summoned the diplomats of the Russian embassy to tell them that it considered the authorities in Moscow “fully responsible” for the death of the number one critic of the Kremlin.
The death of Navalny, 47, in a remote Arctic prison where he was serving a 19-year sentence after surviving a poisoning in 2020 that he blamed on the Kremlin, was announced on Friday. The Russian opposition leader died after three years in prison.
