Venezuela opposition holds ‘consultation’ to gauge support

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Venezuela opposition holds ‘consultation’ to gauge support” – below is their description.

Text:

Venezuelans have voted in a non-binding poll organised by Venezuela’s opposition leader, Juan Guaido, where they were asked if they want to end President Nicolas Maduro’s rule and hold new elections.

It was organised to counter last week’s parliamentary elections, which the opposition boycotted after calling them a fraud.

Opposition leaders are still calling for stronger international pressure to guarantee free and fair presidential election in Venezuela.

Al Jazeera’s Lucia Newman reports from Santiago, Chile.
