THE Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) condemned Monday’s bus strike as part of right-wing attempts to destabilise the country.
PCV politburo spokesman Yul Jabour said the party rejected the protests, calling them sabotage against United Socialist Party (PSUV) President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
Monday’s strike was over planned new fare rates in the capital Caracas and other big cities, which have not yet been set.
