MADRID, 4 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Venezuelan opposition presidential candidate, Edmundo González, has announced that he will travel to the United States this Saturday to meet with President Joe Biden after a day in which he met with the presidents of Argentina, Javier Milei, and of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle Pou.
González explained in a press conference from Buenos Aires that he will fly to Washington after passing through Uruguay, although the agenda is not yet closed. “It includes meetings with the political leaders represented in Congress. We also have a conversation planned with President (Joe) Biden and we await definitions regarding the new authorities, which have not yet been defined,” he noted.
In the meeting with Milei, the Argentine president stressed that “we are doing what the cause of freedom requires, neither more nor less.” After the meeting, González greeted the Venezuelans gathered in the Plaza de Mayo.
Subsequently, the Argentine Presidency published a statement in which Milei stressed “Argentina will not be complicit in silence in the face of the injustices and abuses of the Maduro regime.” “Our position is clear: freedom, justice and democracy for all Venezuelans,” he stressed.
STOP IN MONTEVIDEO
After his stopover in Buenos Aires, González Urrutia traveled to Montevideo, specifically to the Suárez Residence to meet with President Luis Lacalle Pou. Hundreds of Venezuelans gathered in front of the presidential headquarters to express their support for González.
González has highlighted the support of Lacalle Pou. “He has made very important statements that have been key to the political development of the electoral campaign and he was the one who had the idea of me coming to share these minutes with you here on the street,” he noted, according to the Uruguayan newspaper ‘El País’.
The Venezuelan opposition leader has insisted on his intention to arrive in Caracas for the inauguration on January 10. “The government may close the airspace, it may close the highways, it may close the access to Caracas, but they will not prevent the resounding victory that we are going to obtain (…) because that victory means respecting the will of more than 7 millions of Venezuelans displaced by the regime,” he highlighted.
“We are going to recover the freedom of all political prisoners,” González stressed to the applause and shouts of support from the concentrated Venezuelan sympathizers.
The Uruguayan Government expressed its support for “president-elect” González and “reaffirms his right to assume leadership of the government of his country this January 10” against the “dictatorial regime of Nicolás Maduro.”
González’s tour also includes Panama and the Dominican Republic.
