The European Parliament has officially recognized Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the legitimate president of Venezuela, urging the EU to facilitate his inauguration set for January 10, 2025. This decision highlights the ongoing political struggle against Nicolás Maduro's regime, which has maintained control since the opposition's boycott of the 2020 elections.

Meanwhile, tensions have arisen between Spain and its opposition parties over accusations of coercion related to Gonzalez Urrutia's recognition of Maduro's election victory.

The EU's stance marks a pivotal moment in Venezuela's quest for democratic governance amid a backdrop of political turmoil.
