Editorial: El Mundo

• Global notarization has started a countdown for Edmundo González to take office as president on January 10.
• Protests and the stance against Nicolás Maduro, both in exile and in Caracas, persist despite the intensification of Chavista repression.
• The regime has intensified political persecution and repression, as seen in the siege of the Argentine embassy in Caracas and the residence of the mother of opposition leader, María Corina Machado.
• Edmundo González has asked for recognition from Spain as elected president, much like the U.S has done.
• At a rally in Madrid, exiles demanded that the International Criminal Court issue a capture order against Maduro.

Conclusion: The determination of the democratic opposition is a message of hope in their fight for freedom and to end the Chavista regime.
