Venezuela’s opposition leader Edmundo González said his son-in-law was kidnapped on Tuesday in Caracas just days before his vowed return to the capital.
González, who won more votes than incumbent Nicolás Maduro in July’s presidential election according to electoral records collected by the opposition, said in a post on X that son-in-law Rafael Tudares was “intercepted by hooded men in black” and loaded into a van as he was taking his children, 6 and 7, to their first day of school.
