Venezuelan women march to protest canceled referendum

Thousands of women marched in Caracas Saturday against leftist President Nicolas Maduro's decision to block opposition-led efforts for a recall referendum."Brave Venezuela, you will be set free!" chanted the women, most of whom dressed in white. 

The escalating standoff between the unpopular government and the powerful but fractured opposition is destabilizing the oil-rich South American state, stricken by food shortages and violent crime. 

"We're all in!" read a sign carried by protesting 65 year-old grandmother Maria de Guevara. 

"We can't handle this anymore, there is no food, there is no medicine, there is no future for my grandchildren nor for any Venezuelans," she said.

DYI Comments:  So typical of a socialist totalitarian regime - if control of their mass media fails then move on to the heavy handed approached.  Eventually Maduro will suspend all voting leaving the populous with a civil war.  This will occur somewhere between now and the next 2 years.
