Edmundo González Urrutia, the Venezuelan opposition leader and ex-diplomat, was hospitalized in Madrid on May 5 due to a sudden episode of low blood pressure. González, 75, has been living in exile in Spain since September 2024 after an order of detention was issued against him in Venezuela. He was admitted to a public hospital, where his condition was reported as stable.

González was discharged from the hospital on May 6 and stated he is in full recovery. He expressed gratitude for the support received and affirmed his intention to resume his responsibilities as president-elect soon, following medical advice. During his hospitalization, opposition leader María Corina Machado continued to lead the political and organizational process within the opposition coalition.

González claims to have won the July 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, although official results declared Nicolás Maduro the winner with 52% of the vote. The opposition alleges electoral fraud and asserts that González received 70% of the votes.
