Venezuela’s top prosecutor has announced a criminal investigation against the opposition’s presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez and its leader Maria Corina Machado.
The attorney general says the case is related to their call on the armed forces to abandon their support for President Nicolas Maduro and to stop repressing (鎮壓) demonstrators.
The statement tied the investigation directly to a written appeal the two members of the opposition sent hours earlier about Maduro and the demonstrators who have come out in force to defend their votes in the July 28 election.
The attorney general says the duo “falsely announced a winner of the presidential election other than the one proclaimed by the National Electoral Council" and they openly incited (煽動) “police and military officials to disobey the laws.”
