Venezuela: Mud coalition backers launch lockout
VENEZUELA’S opposition launched a bosses’ lockout yesterday — a day after declaring a rival government to President Nicolas Maduro’s.
The Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition called the “general strike” on Monday as part of its “zero-hour” plan for regime change before the July 30 elections over the new constitutional reform assembly it opposes.
It follows three months of street violence that has left more than 90 dead.
