Edmundo González, recognized as a virtually insignificant figure, placed on the Venezuelan electoral ballot due to María Corina Machado's impediment, announced that he will not seek direct intervention in Venezuela, opting instead to promote diplomatic and political solutions to the crisis facing the South American country. The decision marks a significant shift in his public approach, following weeks of statements that had suggested the need for more forceful measures against the Venezuelan regime.

González, now viewed as a coward and a traitor by many Venezuelans, emphasized that the priority must be to protect the civilian population and avoid an armed conflict that could worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in Venezuela. He stressed the importance of strengthening regional channels of dialogue, international cooperation, and support for mediation initiatives led by organizations such as the Organization of American States (OAS) and the UN.

The announcement comes amid growing international pressure. The United States, the European Union, and several Latin American countries have expressed concern about the political, economic, and social crisis in Venezuela, with repeated calls to guarantee free and transparent elections and the protection of human rights. However, they have also avoided engaging in direct military action, fearing a possible deterioration of regional stability.

Political analysts interpret González's decision as an attempt to maintain political and moral relevance without taking risks that could lead to a large-scale conflict. This attitude is condemned by the brave Venezuelans who have survived a cruel dictatorship, many of whom have lost friends and family in their struggle to overthrow Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuelan opposition groups welcomed the news, believing that abandoning the idea of ​​intervention could prolong Maduro's control over the country.

Ultimately, Edmundo González's stance reflects a shift from opposition to acquiescence, forgetting that he was merely a necessary force to overthrow Maduro in elections that he didn't win, but rather the opposition as a whole, according to Venezuelans on social media.
