Maduro Warns Venezuela Opposition as New Protests Erupt

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro told opposition governors to take part in talks he called for next week or face “consequences” as Caracas residents hold dueling rallies today.

Miranda state Governor Henrique Capriles, who in April lost the presidential election by the thinnest margin in 45 years, today said he would join the talks. Maduro, in a news conference from the presidential palace yesterday, said opposition groups were trying to overthrow his government, backed by the political “right” in Latin America, foreign media and the U.S.
