Venezuelan Opposition Leader Seeks Asylum in Spain After July 28 Election, Sanchez Welcomes
Sep 12, 2024, 09:41 AM
Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez has sought asylum in Spain following a disputed election on July 28, which he reportedly won in a landslide. The Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has welcomed Gonzalez, emphasizing Spain's commitment to supporting Venezuelan democracy. The Spanish parliament has also voted to recognize Gonzalez as the president-elect of Venezuela, despite the Spanish government's decision to ignore this recognition. In response, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's administration has proposed cutting diplomatic and commercial ties with Spain. The situation has exacerbated Venezuela's political crisis, with mass exodus, increased repression of opposition figures, and at least 24 people killed. International criticism continues as the Maduro regime faces sanctions and condemnation from various global entities.
