Former presidential candidate from the opposition, Edmundo González, has arrest warrant issued by Venezuelan judge


In Venezuela, a judge issued an arrest warrant for opposition leader Edmundo González following the presidential election in July, which both the ruling party and opposition claim to have won. González is accused of crimes like conspiracy and falsifying documents. Authorities issued the warrant after he failed to appear for questioning. The investigation focuses on tally sheets from voting machines, with the ruling party declaring President Nicolás Maduro the winner shortly after polls closed without publishing detailed results. The opposition obtained tally sheets from over 80% of machines and claims they show González won by a wide margin. Despite international pressure, the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, loyal to Maduro, certified his victory. González has criticized the lack of due process and accused the Attorney General of being politically biased. The arrest warrant has further united the opposition in their quest for freedom, with their analysis suggesting González received significantly more votes than officially reported. An AP review of tally sheets showed González ahead of Maduro by a large margin. As tensions rise, Maduro has asked for an electoral audit, which has been met with skepticism by the opposition. The arrest warrant represents a new level of repression against the opposition, fueling their determination to fight for democracy and freedom in Venezuela.
