González, who ran in the July 28 elections as an opposition candidate and challenged incumbent President Nicolas Maduro, is now under threat of arrest.
The official warrant was published on social media, highlighting the authorities' intention to tighten measures against political opponents.
This situation adds another page to the chronicle of political repression in Venezuela, where pressure on the opposition has become common practice. Amid the ongoing crisis in the country, such a move by the authorities is causing a new wave of concern both domestically and internationally.
