Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González said this Tuesday (10) that he is convinced that he will return to his country in time to take office as president on January 10.
“You don’t go to war with fear, and that’s why I’m convinced that, somehow, I will travel to Venezuela to take power,” said González at an event in Madrid, where he has lived in exile since September 8.
González received an arrest warrant for alleged conspiracy and other crimes after President Nicolás Maduro said the opposition was trying to overthrow him in a coup.
The opposition insists González was the true winner of a July election conceded to Maduro.
González’s vice presidential pick, María Corina Machado, who remains in an undisclosed location in Venezuela, participated in the event via video link, saying, “Tremendously challenging and dangerous times lie ahead.”
