Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González, granted asylum in Spain, vowed to continue fighting for democracy in Venezuela. He fled after disputed July 28 elections, where President Nicolás Maduro claimed victory. An arrest warrant accused González of conspiracy and forgery. Opposition leader María Corina Machado cited threats to his life. The opposition claims González won, supported by detailed voting tallies. The US, EU, and other governments reject Maduro’s victory without transparent voting data. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and EU’s Josep Borrell condemned the anti-democratic actions forcing González’s exile.
