López’s father said Saturday that his son had left the embassy two days earlier. Last Friday he crossed the border with Colombia. From there he would go to Spain. He is scheduled to meet his wife and three children in Madrid, Spain.
The Maduro government has not commented on the departure of López.
The leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Juan Guado, also tweeted welcoming the message. “Maduro, nothing is out of your control,” he tweeted.
The United States has welcomed López’s departure. The US virtual embassy for Venezuela in Colombia said in a tweet: “We are happy to see López released. The country’s illegitimate government has detained hundreds of people for disagreeing with Maduro. They are a threat to the government. Because there are people with them, and they also have the courage to seek constitutional rights.
Venezuela has been plagued by years of economic crisis and political instability.
The country faces a serious energy, electricity and drinking water crisis. Protests were also held across the country last month.
