Latin American regime change proponents invited to join ‘network of freedom fighters’ in Miami

FAR-RIGHT Venezuelan opposition figure Leopoldo Lopez was invited to join other regime change proponents as part of “a network of freedom fighters” at a gathering in Miami on Wednesday.

The Oslo Freedom Forum, which has its foundations in anti-communist NGOs, held a forum for wannabe leaders hoping to subvert democracy in their countries.

Mr Lopez told New York-based journalist and anti-Iran activist Masih Alinejad that he hoped they could unite their efforts in bringing freedom to their home countries.
