Panama City (AFP) – Panama’s Foreign Minister Javier Martinez Acha welcomes Venezuelan opposition figure Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia at the Presidential palace in Panama City. Gonzalez Urrutia is due to hold a meeting with Panama President Jose Raul Mulino. Venezuela is on tenterhooks as it braces for pro- and anti-government protests — the eve of President Nicolas Maduro’s swearing-in for a third term rejected by the opposition and much of the international community as illegitimate. Exiled Gonzalez Urrutia is on an international tour to drum up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro to step aside. IMAGES
