The Venezuelan Vote: A Tale of Controversy and Crisis

Are the streets of Caracas echoing the voices of the voiceless, or is it the crescendo of a political power play? As the sun rose over Venezuela last Sunday, so did tensions, with protesters gathering in front of the United Nations office. They decried the government of Nicolah Maduro, alleging that the election results had been stolen. "We must protest in a peaceful manner," they chanted, "we should not fall into the provocations they place for us."
