Venezuelan opposition voters band to safeguard election, warning of the ruling party’s tricks
Associated PressSABANETA, Venezuela — Tears roll down the face of Tanyia Colmenares when she recalls her truncated dream of being a lawyer, which ended after two semesters in law school when she had to drop out to survive Venezuela’s complex crisis. Colmenares is among the thousands of supporters of Venezuela’s typically fractured opposition who have agreed to organize, mobilize and support voters during the highly anticipated July 28 presidential election. Supporters cheer for opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as she campaigns for presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, in Maturin, Venezuela, Saturday, July 20, 2024. Group members, by now all familiar with the ruling party’s efforts to tilt the balance on election days, expect gas stations to not open, power outages to affect opposition strongholds, police and Maduro loyalists to block roads, and the military to limit access to polling centers. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado greets supporters during a campaign rally for presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, in Maturin, Venezuela, Saturday, July 20, 2024.
