Venezuela's opposition calls for nationwide protests after recall bid halted
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles called for nationwide protests this Wednesday to restore constitutional order
Venezuela's MUD opposition alliance on Friday called for nationwide demonstrations on Oct. 26 to protest electoral authorities' decision to suspend a presidential recall referendum campaign.
"That day will be the start of a nationwide mobilization. We'd already warned (this would happen). On Wednesday, we'll take Venezuela from end to end, every corner of the country. I hope to see the people mobilized to restore the constitutional order," former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles said at a press conference along with the MUD's other top leaders.
