VENEZUELA-ELECTION-MUNICIPAL-OPPOSITION-MACHADO

Venezuelan opposition ex-congresswoman Maria Corina Machado, gestures as she speaks during an interview with AFP in Caracas on November 23, 2017. Venezuelans headed to the polls Sunday for mayoral elections that the opposition is boycotting amid an economic crisis, giving President Nicolas Maduro's party a clear path to victory. "They are not elections, but adjudications," Machado told AFP, adding that voting would mean recognizing the Constituent Assembly and thus constitute a "betrayal" of the 125 people killed this year in four months of anti-government protests.
