Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González, recognized by the United States as the winner of last year's presidential election, has embarked on a tour of Latin America ahead of President Nicolás Maduro's controversial third term inauguration. González received a warm welcome from a crowd of Venezuelan migrants in Buenos Aires, chanting 'Edmundo, Presidente' as he met with Argentine President Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada.
González, a retired diplomat, fled to Spain in September following an arrest warrant issued after Maduro's disputed victory in the July 28 election. Despite the risks, González has vowed to return to Venezuela for his inauguration on January 10, challenging Maduro's authority over all state institutions and the military.
