Venezuela’s government sent an “anti-fascism” bill to congress that will tighten the crackdown on its opponents ahead of elections this year.
The law would impose punishments on the organizers of the massive anti-government protests that took place from 2014. Opposition leader María Corina Machado and her allies, many now in exile, were at the forefront of the rallies.
