Venezuelan opposition leader and the man who many countries in the international community consider the winner of the country's recent presidential election, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, fled in exile to Spain over the weekend. The move has left many in dismay, trying to assess how the move will impact the movement against Nicolas Maduro's stronghold on the presidency.
As speculations run rampant in Venezuela, Anthony Blinken, the U.S. Secretary of State, has taken to X to say that, despite going into exile, Edmundo González "remains the best hope for democracy" in Venezuela as "Maduro's post-election repression has killed or imprisoned thousands of people."
