Venezuela, going over the slide.
Via Daily Caller:
A leading figure of the conservative Venezuelan opposition was murdered in cold blood Friday and his murderer is still at large.
German Mavare who was a leader of the Un Nuevo Tiempo – A New Era – Party, was shot in the head Friday morning. The killing of Mavare comes as Venezuela is increasingly destabilized because of an ongoing political and economic crisis.
Leading figures of the conservative opposition submitted 1.85 million signatures Monday to the country’s federal election commission. If approved, the number of signatures collected is more than enough to justify a recall election against the ruling Socialist President Nicolas Maduro.
Politics have been at a standstill in the South American country ever since December 2015 elections which saw a conservative coalition take power of the National Assembly – the country’s Congress. The December election result is the first time that Conservatives and Socialists are splitting power since Hugo Chavez became president in 1999.
