Venezuela Sets $100K Bounty on Opposition Candidate
Pres. Nicolas Maduro's government on Thursday announced a $100K reward for information leading to the arrest of Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González. The exiled leader has been living in Spain since October.
The government has accused Gonzalez — recognized as "president-elect" by the US and European parliament — of conspiracy and racketeering, while Venezuela’s supreme court and election body declared Maduro the winner.
The opposition has urged mass protests against Pres. Maduro's inauguration. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who went into hiding, reportedly released a video in which she stated: "we'll see each other in the streets in January."
Gonzalez, too, urged Venezuelans to "commit together to upholding" his electoral mandate. Many opposition leaders claimed to be under "siege" by authorities, with some living under asylum in the Argentine embassy in Caracas.
