Masked assailants ransack the offices of opposition leader Machado
A NUMBER of masked assailants reportedly ransacked the headquarters of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado in the early hours of this morning.
No evidence has come to light about who was behind the raid, which came as tensions continue to rise following Sunday’s presidential elections, of which incumbent Nicholas Maduro was declared the winner earlier this week.
Ms Machado’s party said that the assailants had broken down doors and hauled away valuable documents and equipment. It published images on social media showing several walls covered in black spray paint.
