In the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, clashes broke out Thursday as the country’s increasingly militant opposition stepped up efforts to oust President Nicolás Maduro. Opposition leaders have called for a national strike today and a march to the presidential palace in Caracas, unless the election board allows for a stalled referendum on whether to recall President Maduro. Each side has accused the other of attempting a coup. Venezuela’s political unrest comes as the country is grappling with a massive economic crisis, which has led to shortages of food, medicine and other necessary goods. We’ll have more on the crisis in Venezuela later in the broadcast.
