Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo González has vowed to "continue to fight" for democracy in his own country, after being granted asylum in Spain.
Mr González left Venezuela on Saturday, having spent weeks in hiding at the Spanish embassy in Caracas - arriving at the Torrejón de Ardoz military air base in Madrid with his wife at about 16:00 local time (14:00 GMT).
The departure of the 75-year-old from the country followed turmoil in the wake of the 28 July elections, in which President Nicolás Maduro claimed victory - something which was disputed by Mr González, and many sections of the international community.
