Venezuela Local – December 9
Voice of America reports: “In Venezuela the United Socialist Party of President Nicolas Maduro won local elections boycotted by the opposition, which considered the vote a corrupt process. The majority of about 2,500 council seats went to members of Maduro’s party, election officials said. About 27 percent of the 20 million eligible voters turned out for Sunday’s council races, the president of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, said, praising the election as strengthening Venezuela’s democracy. Maduro’s government has banned the most popular opposition parties from elections, while leading opposition figures have been jailed or have fled the country fearing for their safety.”
