MADRID: Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia - who insists he, not strongman Nicolas Maduro, is Venezuela's legitimate president-elect - fled for exile in Spain Sunday to save his own life, the opposition said.
Venezuela's regime-loyal CNE electoral authority declared Maduro the winner of the July 28 elections, but the opposition cried foul and much of the Machado said on X that"the increasing threats, subpoenas, arrest warrants and even attempts at blackmail and coercion against show that the regime has no scruples or limits in its obsession to silence him and try to bring him down."
Attorney General Tarek William Saab later told journalists Gonzalez Urrutia's departure marked the close of a piece of"farcical theatre ... fatefully named 'To the End'" - the opposition's post-election fightback slogan.
