STUDENTS DEMAND ELECTIONS
About 500 Venezuelan students marched in Caracas on Thursday against President Nicolas Maduro. “We’re demanding elections now, demanding an electoral schedule and demanding results. We don’t want to see an agreement among politicians; we want results. That’s why today we’re out on the street,” Hasler Iglesias, head of the FCU-UCV university federation of Venezuela, told reporters. Iglesias led the march from east Caracas to one of the election authorities’ headquarters in the Libertador district. He said that similar marches were being held in at least seven locations in the country’s interior, all of them with the same destination: regional offices of the National Election Council.
