US & EU regret the exile of Edmundo González

The international community faces the forced exile of the Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia, who was forced to request asylum in Spain after facing pressure and threats of imprisonment. The United States and the European Union regret this situation, while Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, condemns Nicolás Maduro’s undemocratic measures against González Urrutia and other opposition leaders. Blinken emphasizes that the Venezuelan people have expressed their desire for democratic change, and the international community continues to exert pressure against repression in Venezuela.
