    The EU had just a huge free trade agreement with South-America. And now political instability starts to grow in the region. Coincidence? Has any EU leader condemned the strikes yet?

      The EU is currently working on a trade agreement with Mercosur, which Venezuela is suspended from.

      Also the EU has sanctions on Venezuela for not releasing proper election results. There is also the not so minor problem of Venzuela threatening war with Guyana. Obviously Venezuela is also a close friend of Russia, which is a big no no for the EU.
