Gonázlez claimed he won around 70% of the vote, citing tally sheets from polling stations.
Protests erupted after the election, leading to clashes with police.
Gonázlez fled to Spain, which granted him asylum after Venezuela announced conspiracy and racketeering charges against him.
The opposition candidate has been living in exile since due to a warrant for his arrest.
Most recently, he announced plans to travel to Argentina. He posted to X that his visit includes a meeting with the country’s president Saturday, Jan. 4.
He called for people to come out and rally.

Argentina showed Gonázlez support ahead of Maduro’s January inauguration.
Only a handful of countries, including Venezuelan ally Russia, have recognized Maduro as the winner of July’s election.
Socialist Hugo Chávez picked Maduro to succeed him after he died in 2013.
