Venezuelan prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia amid allegations of electoral fraud and conspiracy. The move follows his failure to appear for court summonses regarding the July 28 elections, where he claims victory over Nicolás Maduro. González Urrutia, who has been in hiding, argues that the legal proceedings lack independence and are politically motivated. The situation has intensified tensions between the government and opposition, with calls for a peaceful transition and the release of detained protesters.
