Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González has fled to Spain, claiming he was coerced into signing a document recognizing Nicolás Maduro as the winner of the disputed July presidential election. González stated that Maduro's aides pressured him into signing the letter at the Spanish embassy in Caracas as a condition for his escape. The letter, which was later presented by Jorge Rodríguez on national television, was meant to be confidential but purportedly shows González conceding defeat. González and the opposition maintain that the official results were falsified, asserting he won the election with a substantial margin. International support for González includes recognition from the U.S. and several Latin American countries, which have questioned the legitimacy of Maduro's proclaimed victory. González continues to refute the validity of the coerced letter, emphasizing his commitment to democracy and freedom for Venezuela.
