San Joaquín (Venezuela) (AFP) – Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado holds a rally ahead of the July 28 presidential election. Machado, who overwhelmingly won the opposition primary, was declared ineligible by a Maduro-aligned court. However, she refuses to step down despite being barred from public office for 15 years based on charges widely dismissed as spurious. IMAGES
