Venezuela’s Edmundo González vows to ‘continue to fight’ for democracy after Spain asylum | BBC News


Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González has vowed to "continue to fight" for democracy in his own country, after being granted asylum in Spain.

Mr González left Venezuela, after having spent weeks in hiding, arriving at the Torrejón military air base in Madrid with his wife at about 16:00 local time on Sunday (14:00 GMT).

The departure of the 75-year-old from the country followed turmoil in the wake of the 28 July elections, in which President Nicolás Maduro claimed victory – something which was disputed by Mr González, and many sections of the international community.
