Brazil is concerned about the issuance of an arrest warrant for Gonzalez.

Brazil is extremely concerned about the issuance of a warrant for the detention of former Venezuelan presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez.

⠀
On Tuesday, the Venezuelan prosecutor general’s office said that the Venezuelan control court of first instance has issued a detention warrant for Edmundo Gonzalez, a former presidential candidate of the united right-wing opposition, who failed to appear three times when subpoenaed to testify.

⠀

“The arrest warrant for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo Gonzalez is “extremely troubling” and a “wrong move,” Celsa Amorima, Brazil’s international affairs adviser said.

⠀
The adviser to the President of Brazil also said that the situation with the elections in Venezuela has not yet been resolved.

⠀

“We don’t see victory on either side,” Amorima said.

⠀
Earlier, the issuance of an arrest warrant for Gonzalez was condemned by a number of Latin American countries, including Panama, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru, as well as the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell.
