Spain has formally recognized Edmundo González as the legitimate president of Venezuela, following a vote in the Spanish Senate that saw a standing ovation and a large majority of senators in favor. This move aligns with the European Parliament, which has also passed a resolution recognizing González as the legitimate president after a disputed election. The European Parliament has called for an international arrest warrant for the incumbent president, Nicolás Maduro, who has claimed victory in the contested election. This recognition by Spain and the European Parliament deals a significant blow to Maduro's regime.
