The Venezuelan presidential candidate Edmundo González confirmed this Friday that “very soon” he will travel to Venezuela to take office as president after Nicolás Maduro has sworn in the office in the capital, Caracas.
“I am very close to Venezuela. I am ready for safe entry and at the opportune moment I will assert the votes that represent the recovery of our democracy,” González stressed in a video posted on social networks.
In this sense, he stressed that President Nicolás Maduro “has violated the Constitution and the sovereign will of the Venezuelans expressed on July 28.” “He consummates a coup d’état. He crowns himself dictator,” he said.
Venezuela held presidential elections at the end of July in which the ruling party awarded the victory to Maduro, although the opposition denounced fraud in the vote count and claimed the victory of González, backed by part of the international community.
