Militia members shout and hold a placard during a rally against imperialism, in Caracas March 15, 2015. Venezuela’s parliament granted President Nicolas Maduro decree powers on Sunday for the rest of 2015 in a move he says is to defend the country from U.S. meddling but opponents decry as evidence of autocracy. The placard reads, “Yankee go home, Venezuela should be respected” . REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins (VENEZUELA – Tags: POLITICS)
