Opposition leader flees Venezuela for Spain following disputed election result
Sunday, 8 September 2024 () Former Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez has fled to Spain following the country's disputed elections, according to officials.
Edmundo Gonzalez, the opposition candidate in Venezuela's contested election, has fled to Spain, as diplomatic tensions escalate with Brazil over embassy intrigue.
In Venezuela's latest presidential election, President Nicolás Maduro and opposition rival Edmundo Gonzalez both declared victory, sparking intense controversy. Official results announced by the national electoral authority show Maduro winning a third term with 51% of the vote, extending a quarter-century of socialist rule.

The U.S. and several other countries have expressed serious doubts about the legitimacy of the results, with accusations of electoral fraud and violations. Watch this video for a detailed analysis of the election, the international reactions, and the ongoing debate over Venezuela's political future.
