Venezuela: Right scraps plan for protest march

VENEZUELA’S opposition has called off today’s regime-change march after Vatican-mediated talks with the socialist government.

The Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition had cancelled the march on the Miraflores palace in Caracas on Tuesday after the government freed four detained opposition activists — two of whom were held for possessing explosives.

Mud secretary-general Jesus Torrealba said the coalition would also delay a political “trial” against President Nicolas Maduro in the Mud-controlled Congress to which they had summoned him for breaking the constitution.
