MADRID (Reuters) - Venezuelan former presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez said on Friday that he intended to travel back to his country on Jan. 10 to take office as "elected president".
Gonzalez attended a business event in Spain and, in his first public speech since arriving there after being forced to leave Venezuela, told the audience that he was president-elect and that his stay in Spain was temporary.
