Hotel El Embajador gains global spotlight amid Edmundo González’s presence

Santo Domingo.- The Embajador Hotel, a historic landmark in the Dominican Republic, has become the focal point of global attention as the temporary base for Venezuelan opposition leader Edmundo González and prominent Latin American figures amidst the inauguration of Venezuela’s presidency.

Secrecy shrouds the iconic venue, with heightened security measures and a strong media presence. While it remains unconfirmed if González is still at the hotel, his wife, Mercedes López, is reported to be staying there. The situation has turned the hotel into a hub of political tension and international intrigue.

The Barceló Group’s Embajador Hotel, renowned for hosting heads of state and significant political events, continues its legacy by accommodating this high-stakes gathering. González was welcomed to the Dominican Republic by former presidents from across Latin America, including Hipólito Mejía, Laura Chinchilla, and Felipe Calderón, along with IDEA Group Secretary-General Asdrubal Aguiar. This reception underscores widespread regional support for democratic values and González’s claim as the legitimate winner of Venezuela’s disputed elections.
