Opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez, widely regarded as the legitimate winner of Venezuela's presidential election, has begun his first full day in exile after fleeing to Spain where he will be granted political asylum. This move comes as a significant setback for the millions of Venezuelans who had placed their hopes in his campaign.
The opposition in Venezuela alleges that Gonzalez faced immense pressure from the Maduro regime, which led to his decision to seek refuge abroad. Maduro, however, denies these claims.
