After Maduro's removal in Jan. 2026, ousted 2024 candidate Edmundo González stays silent in exile, while María Corina Machado leads the opposition.
Following the January 2026 U.S.-backed operation that removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, opposition figure Edmundo González, the 2024 presidential candidate, has remained largely silent despite holding the official electoral mandate.
Living in exile in Spain since late 2024, González has made only a few public statements, including a post-ouster message calling for political prisoner releases.
His absence from the public spotlight is attributed to personal preference and strategic calculation, as opposition leader María Corina Machado has emerged as the coalition’s primary face, especially after winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
While some voters question why the man with the most votes in the 2024 election remains quiet, analysts note his continued symbolic importance to the opposition’s democratic legitimacy.
