Edmundo González: A Promise to Restore Democracy in Venezuela
Opposition leader Edmundo González, hailed as the rightful winner of Venezuela’s July 28 elections, stands firm in his commitment to bring democracy back to his homeland. Amidst the political turmoil plaguing Venezuela, González recently spoke at the La Toja Atlantic Forum in Galicia, expressing his unwavering dedication to returning to Venezuela before the presidential inauguration on January 10. He declared, “I will return to Venezuela as soon as possible, when we restore democracy in our country.”
In his impassioned plea for international support, González urged Spain and other global players to increase pressure on the Venezuelan regime to respect the will of the people. Recognizing the pivotal role of international investments in reviving the nation’s economy, he emphasized the necessity for countries like Spain, integrated within the European community, to contribute to Venezuela’s journey towards democratic, diplomatic, and economic stability.
Despite residing in exile in Spain since early September, González exudes confidence in his followers and dismisses comparisons to past opposition leaders. Grateful to Spain for providing him with temporary refuge, he continues to advocate for Venezuela’s democratic future with unwavering determination.
As the deadline of January 10 looms closer, González remains resolute in his assertion that he will return to Venezuela to assume the presidency, trusting in the will of the eight million Venezuelans who supported him. Widely regarded as the president-elect of Venezuela by a significant portion of the global community, González’s victory in the elections is backed by electoral records recognized by esteemed organizations like the Carter Foundation and various countries.
In a time of uncertainty and political unrest, González’s unwavering commitment to restoring democracy in Venezuela serves as a beacon of hope for the nation and its people. It is imperative for the international community to stand in solidarity with González and support the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan populace. The time for change is now, and together, we can pave the way for a brighter future for Venezuela.
