Venezuela: Locals accuse right of killing 13-year-old boy

RESIDENTS of Ali Primera Socialist City accused Venezuela’s right-wing opposition of attacking their community on Tuesday and killing a 13-year-old boy.

Radio Nacional de Venezuela reported that, amid escalating anti-government violence, protesters had toppled the main gate of the “socialist city” commune and mortally wounded Bryan Principal with two rounds.

The city was established by the Bolivarian Revolution in 2014 for low-income citizens and is named after legendary Venezuelan musician and leftwing activist Ali Primera, dubbed “the People’s Singer.”
