Former Venezuelan presidential candidate Edmundo González fled to Spain on Sunday as part of a deal with Nicolás Maduro’s government, disappointing many supporters. Considered the legitimate winner of the July 28 election by the opposition and some foreign governments, González’s departure was announced after an arrest order. He arrived in Madrid with his wife and Spanish officials, later sending a message to supporters. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado assured that González would return for the January 10 swearing-in ceremony. His exile adds to the growing list of opposition figures seeking asylum due to Maduro’s crackdown.
