Venezuela bars another opposition politician from office
http://news.yahoo.com/venezuela-bars-another-opposition-politician-office-040245894.htmlCARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela has barred former Zulia state governor Pablo Perez from holding office for 10 years, the latest in a series of opposition politicians to be banned.
The sanction against Perez was announced on Saturday by the opposition Democratic Unity coalition, which published the resolution dated June 3, 2015 on its website.
Earlier this month, Venezuela's comptroller's office prohibited former mayor Enzo Scarano and high-profile opposition leader Maria Corina Machado from holding office for a year. Ex-mayor Daniel Ceballo was also barred from office.
The three were candidates in December legislative elections which polls show the opposition leading as Venezuelans tire of chronic shortages, crime and inflation.
