"Venezuelan Opposition Faces Electoral Obstacles in Presidential Race"
TL;DR Summary
The Venezuelan opposition's hopes for a unified candidate to challenge President Nicolás Maduro in the upcoming July election were dimmed as their first two choices were barred from running. After facing obstacles from the Maduro government, the coalition of opposition parties managed to register a third provisional candidate, former diplomat Edmundo González, to run against Maduro. The opposition continues to fight for democracy in the face of Maduro's repressive rule, which has led to Venezuela's financial ruin and the exodus of a significant portion of its population.
