Maduro recall

CARACAS: Tensions rose in Venezuela yesterday as the country’s opposition rejected a decision by the elections authority that would weaken the potential impact of a referendum to recall President Nicolas Maduro.

Jesus Torrealba, leader of the opposition coalition Democratic Unity Roundtable, denounced the moves and vowed anti-Maduro forces would triumph. Briefs supplied by Reuters, ANADPA, ANA-Xinhua, Daily Mail
