10,000 protest at regional blocs intervention
THOUSANDS of people rallied in Venezuela on Wednesday against foreign intervention as regional governments stepped back from a confrontation.
Up to 10,000 demonstrators from both sides of the countrys political divide marched to the Miraflores presidential palace in the capital Caracas, where they were addressed by President Nicolas Maduro.
They were protesting against attempts by Organisation of American States (OAS) secretary-general Luis Almagro to invoke the blocs Democratic Charter against Venezuela.
Mr Almagro was responding to calls from right-wing opposition National Assembly Speaker Henry Ramos Allup, whose Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) alliance is demanding a presidential recall referendum this year.
