SOCIALIST MPs in Miranda state’s parliament have called for Governor Henrique Capriles — leader of the country’s right-wing MUD opposition — to be investigated for inciting violence.
The United Socialist Party (PSUV) MPs, who control the Miranda legislative council, urged Prosecutor-General Luisa Ortega on Monday to open an investigation into Mr Capriles.
