Venezuela: Mobs attack police as protests against Maduro turn nasty
VENEZUELAN right-wing protests degenerated into violence on Wednesday with paramilitary veterans of 2014’s deadly Guarimba riots leading the charge.
The marches, including one of thousands to the National Electoral Council (CNE) in the capital Caracas, were organised by the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition of opposition parties.
Protesters demanded that the CNE’s validation of signatures for the recall referendum process against United Socialist Party President Nicolas Maduro be fast-tracked.
