Venezuelan opposition protests as election dispute drags on
CARACAS/MARACAIBO -Venezuela's political opposition and its supporters gathered in cities around the country on Saturday to demand recognition of what they say is their candidate's resounding victory in a presidential vote nearly three weeks ago.
The international community has offered a raft of suggestions for overcoming the nearly three-week-old election crisis - including a new vote - but most have been rejected outright by both the ruling party and opposition. "We have already been through the worst, we don't have any more fear," Noraima Rodriguez, 52, told Reuters."My daughter died because there were no medical supplies in the university hospital. I have nothing to lose, but I want a future for my grandchildren."
Motivated by economic and political crisis, he was among tens of thousands of Venezuelans to cross the treacherous jungle between Colombia and Panama known as the Darien Gap, notorious for robberies, kidnappings, rapes and other dangers.
