Venezuela: Rival ‘votes’ as citizens retreat from violence
Maduro again seeks peace talks with opposition
VENEZUELANS said “enough violence” by turning out for Sunday’s constituent assembly election rehearsal, President Nicolas Maduro said.
National Electoral Council (CNE) vice-president Sandra Oblitas reported “the highest participation” in the practice run for July 30’s election with 1,943 voting machines running.
Mr Maduro called the national constituent assembly to chart a way out of the country’s economic and political crisis, which has left at least 93 people dead in three months.
