Spain's Senate has officially recognized Edmundo González as the elected and legitimate president of Venezuela, aligning with the country's Congress. This recognition deals a significant blow to the current president, Nicolás Maduro. A standing ovation occurred in the Spanish Senate as a large majority of senators voted in favor of recognizing González. Additionally, the European Parliament has passed a resolution recognizing González's claim to have won Venezuela's July election and has called for an international arrest warrant for Maduro. The European Parliament's decision aligns with similar actions taken by the United States.
