Protests expand as Chavez defiant amid crisis in Venezuela
Protesters blocked the Francisco Fajardo highway and key roads around Caracas as opposition leaders urged intensified action against President Hugo Chavez. Banks opened for only three hours amid a national strike with gas shortages and shuttered shops. Chavez rejected calls for early elections, saying he was democratically elected to serve until 2007 and asserting Venezuela's sovereignty.
