Buenos Aires recognized opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the president-elect of Venezuela on Friday, Argentina’s foreign minister said on social media.

“We can all confirm, without a doubt, that the legitimate winner and president-elect is Edmundo Gonzalez,” Diana Mondino posted on X, after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was declared the official victor of Sunday’s election — a result that defied pre-election polls and has drawn global criticism.
