Caracas (AFP) – Opponents of Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro take to the streets of Caracas, in the Chacao neighborhood, chatning “Edmundo president” while waving a huge flag. It is a last-ditch bid to prevent Maduro from being sworn in for a highly controversial third term as president. After a July election that many believe was stolen, beleaguered opposition leaders have pledged to come out of hiding and exile to lead mass protests and prevent Friday’s investiture from going ahead.
