Who is Edmundo González, Maduro’s main rival?

It must be said that the opposition, especially the González-Machado duo, has broad support among the millions of Venezuelans who have emigrated and this largely has to do with the previous proposals. Even so, It is difficult to estimate that victory will be achieved with votes from abroad.since for example in the case of Colombia only 7,012 of the 2.8 million Venezuelans present in the territory are eligible to vote.

Another of González’s important proposals has to do with a extensive state auditin view of a gradual recovery of institutionality, with mechanisms of accountability and extreme transparency. A fight against insecurity is also proposed.

The biggest challenge for Chavismo in years?

The candidacy of Edmundo González Urrutia has several significant implications for the political future of Venezuela.His designation as a MUD candidate achieved great cohesion among the opposition partiesmanaging to gather support as if it were a stack of dominoes. This includes the political leader María Corina Machado herself, who has great popular support and has decided to back González Urrutia throughout Venezuela.

Repeatedly, Machado has shown the difficulties of campaigning in the face of pressure from the government of Nicolás MaduroHe has had to sneak away and hide on numerous occasions in order to continue his journey through the most remote territories of Venezuela, trying to gather the necessary support to defeat the ruling party in the elections.
