Venezuela's Maduro says opposition seeks violence
Venezuela' acting president, Nicolas Maduro, on Saturday accused his opponent of seeking to provoke violence by scheduling a dueling campaign rally in the same western state next week.
Opposition leaders countered that it's reasonable to expect that both campaigns can hold events peaceably on Tuesday in the state of Barinas, where the late President Hugo Chavez was born.
Campaigning in Barinas, Maduro told a crowd of supporters that opposition candidate Henrique Capriles' decision to campaign in the city of Barinas, the state capital, was a "provocation," especially because Maduro had announced plans to campaign the state by bus that day. It was unclear so far whether the candidates would be campaigning in the same city at the same time Tuesday.
Maduro urged his followers to resist the temptation to fall into violence.

Pre-emptive blaming for the impending campaign violence.
