Opposition Leader Edmundo González Flees Venezuela, Seeks Asylum in Spain
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Venezuela's former opposition presidential candidate Edmundo González
has fled to Spain to seek asylum after spending weeks in hiding.
González was facing arrest in Venezuela after he accused President
Nicolás Maduro of stealing the July election. Venezuela's Supreme Court
certified Maduro's victory, but many countries, including the United
States, have claimed González won.
