Venezuelan opposition to hold ‚mother of all marches‘ against Maduro

Venezuela‘s opposition says it will stage the „mother of all marches“ on Wednesday, accusing President Nicolas Maduro of resorting to dictatorial measures to quash popular outrage over a deepening economic crisis.

In the culmination of a fortnight of violent demonstrations that killed five people, marchers around the country will demand the government present a timeline for delayed elections, halt a security crackdown on protests, and respect the autonomy of the opposition-led legislature.
