Venezuela: Mud hardliners get their way and pull out of talks
Venezuela’s right-wing opposition said yesterday that it had pulled out of talks with the government, even as the president said they were going ahead.
Hard-line factions of the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) coalition apparently won out as a spokesman said its delegation would not return to the internationally mediated negotiations in the Dominican Republic.
The Mud claimed the government had not met human rights and electoral guarantees, and that President Nicolas Maduro had not name a promised third observer nation for full talks.
