Venezuela’s opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, recently spoke with Euronews and expressed gratitude for the support of Europe in the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. Guaidó stated, “Europe is with us,” as he continues to push for democratic change in the country.
This statement comes as the European Parliament officially recognized Edmundo González as the president-elect of Venezuela. This move signifies a significant step towards international recognition of the opposition’s efforts to challenge the disputed presidency of Nicolás Maduro.
Guaidó, who declared himself interim president in 2019, has been leading the opposition against Maduro’s government, accusing it of human rights abuses and economic mismanagement. The European Parliament’s recognition of González adds further legitimacy to the opposition’s claim to power and puts pressure on Maduro to engage in dialogue with the opposition to resolve the political crisis.
The European Parliament’s decision also underscores the growing international support for the Venezuelan opposition, with countries around the world expressing solidarity with their efforts to restore democracy and improve the economic situation in the country.
As the political situation in Venezuela continues to evolve, Guaidó remains hopeful that with the support of Europe and other international allies, the opposition will be able to bring about positive change for the Venezuelan people. The recognition of González as president-elect is a significant development in the ongoing struggle for democratic governance in Venezuela.
