THE Organisation of American States (OAS) baulked at suspending Venezuela on Tuesday in support of its right-wing opposition.

It was the second time the Washington-based body had foiled Secretary General Luis Almagro’s schemes to invoke its Democratic Charter against Caracas.

A vote on the move — called by the US, Canada and a dozen right-wing regional governments — was abandoned in face of opposition from Venezuela’s allies.

Instead the representatives urged dialogue between United Socialist Party (PSUV) President Nicolas Maduro’s government and the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) opposition, which has boycotted talks since January.
