Venezuela opposition faces crackdown under Maduro | DW News

A month after the disputed election in Venezuela, both sides have taken to the streets of the capital Caracas.
In front of a crowd of supporters, Nicolas Maduro claimed victory again, calling his opponents cowards. But Maduro has also called on opposition leaders to be arrested, forcing them into hiding, while hundreds of dissenters have reportedly already been detained. But opposition leader Maria Corina Machado did emerge to hold her own counter protest, encouraging supporters to continue fighting the “stolen” election results. The US, European Union and several Latin American countries say the results are fraudulent.
