Venezuela’s opposition said late Sunday that it won a majority in Congress for the first time in 16 years after elections were held in the South American country. The National Electoral Council has not yet released results.
“We’ve made history,” opposition leader Freddy Guevara said at a press conference in Caracas as Venezuelans waited for official results. “Now it’s up to the electoral council to tell Venezuela what the country is finding out, what we already know.”
