Brussels has called for an "inclusive political process" in which Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez are recognized.

El equipo de campaña de la líder opositora venezolana María Corina Machado ha denunciado que la destacada disidente ha sido "violentamente interceptada" a su salida de la manifestación organizada en Chacao, en el área metropolitana de la capital venezolana, Caracas. Machado ha acudido este jueves a Chacao para participar en las manifestaciones en favor de la victoria del candidato opositor Edmundo González en las últimas elecciones presidenciales venezolanas y a escasas horas de la teórica toma de posesión del veterano opositor.

"However, Brussels believes that this process should include the recognition of the main opposition leaders, Maria Corina Machado and Edmundo González, who were supported by a "significant majority" of Venezuelans in the last elections.

At a press conference in Brussels, the EU's foreign spokesman, Anitta Hipper , praised the role of the two opposition leaders for having "fought tirelessly for democracy and human rights" in Venezuela.

Hipper has insisted that "next steps" should be based on political dialogue as a way to achieve a "stable democratic transition . "

In this regard, the spokesman insisted that this process should include "Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Corina Machado".
