VENEZUELA-POLITICS-OPPOSITION-PROTEST

Demonstrators clash with the police during a protest against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, in Caracas on March 16, 2014. Several hundreds of Venezuelans marched Sunday in Caracas against “Cuban interference”. Venezuela has seen almost daily anti-government demonstrations, with a death toll of 28, over violent crime, shortages of essential goods such as toilet paper, and soaring inflation, in the most serious challenge yet for Maduro since he succeeded late socialist-populist Hugo Chavez last year.
