Скачать или смотреть Venezuela: officials reject opposition candidate

(3 Aug 2015) Venezuelan election officials on Monday rejected a high-profile opposition leader's attempt to register as a candidate for upcoming congressional elections.
Former congresswoman Maria Corina Machado announced that the National Elections Council had rejected her attempt to register to run in the 6 December elections and called it a grotesque violation of her rights.
Machado is among the hard-line leaders who called for President Nicolas Maduro to resign last year and helped lead sometimes bloody street protests demanding an end to the South American country's socialist administration.
The ruling party stripped her of her congressional seat amid the protests.
Machado has become one of the most visible faces of the opposition, continuing to lead protests against Maduro.
