CARACAS (Reuters) -Venezuelan opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez said on Friday that President Nicolas Maduro's government would have already banned him from public office if it had been planning on blocking his presidential candidacy. Gonzalez, 74, a former diplomat to Algeria and Argentina, was named by the Unitary Platform opposition coalition last month as its candidate for the July 28 presidential election, after landslide primary winner Maria Corina Machado had a ban on holding office upheld by the Supreme Court. Members of the opposition and analysts have warned the ruling party could take action to ban Gonzalez or block opposition parties from appearing on the ballot.
