CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela’s opposition must define within weeks its strategy for ending Nicolas Maduro’s presidency given the OPEC nation’s “monstrous” economic crisis, opposition leader Henrique Capriles believes.
Having won control of the National Assembly last month
due to voter ire at Venezuela’s punishing recession, the opposition
coalition has vowed to find a constitutional mechanism to oust Hugo
Chavez’ successor in the first half of 2016.
Options for the multi-faction coalition include demanding
his resignation, forcing a recall referendum as allowed half-way
through his term, or reforming the constitution to trigger a new
presidential election.
“We have to find a common position. The clock is ticking …
We can’t wait longer than the first quarter,” Capriles, a state
governor who narrowly lost a 2013 presidential vote to Maduro, told
Reuters in an interview late on Thursday.
