Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez addresses EU foreign ministers over disputed presidential election.

Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez, who ran against President Nicolas Maduro in a disputed presidential election, will address EU foreign ministers from the 27 member states via remote link on Thursday. The meeting follows claims from the opposition and some Western countries that the election was not transparent, with Spain refusing to recognize the results until official voting records are released. Protests since the vote have led to at least 27 deaths and 1,780 people being held as political prisoners.
