Venezuelanski oporbeni predsjednički kandidat Edmundo Gonzalez pobjegao je u Španjolsku tražeći azil, nakon što je izdan nalog za njegovo uhićenje u svjetlu spornih predsjedničkih izbora u srpnju. Gonzalezov odlazak predstavlja značajan eskalaciju u kontinuiranom političkom nemiru u Venezueli, s rezultatima izbora koji su široko osporavani kako unutar zemlje, tako i međunarodno. Sjedinjene Američke Države, zajedno s nekoliko drugih zemalja, izrazile su podršku Gonzalezu, smatrajući ga legitimnim pobjednikom izbora. Ovaj potez je intenzivirao diplomatsku krizu oko Venezuele, dok međunarodni glasovi pozivaju na rješenje političke blokade i obnovu demokratskih normi.

Venezuela Opposition Leader Gonzalez Flies to Spain After Arrest Warrant
Venezuelans are facing a severe political and economic crisis. The opposition leader, Leopoldo López, has been under house arrest for several years. Recently, another opposition leader, Freddy Guevara, sought refuge in the Chilean embassy after the government issued an arrest warrant against him. Now, another opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, has fled to Spain after an arrest warrant was issued against him. The situation in Venezuela remains tense, with the government cracking down on dissent and opposition leaders facing persecution.
CARACAS/MADRID (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez left for Spain overnight and was seeking asylum, officials said on Sunday, amid a mounting political and diplomatic crisis over the disputed results of July's election.
