Lopez urges 48 hour general strike over Venezuela constitution
Venezuela opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez called for a 48 hour general strike beginning Wednesday to protest the plan to rewrite the constitution. He urged the military to refrain from deploying for Sunday's constituent assembly vote and warned against eroding the republic while praising supporters and condemning government actions. Lopez spoke from his home under electronic surveillance after being released to house arrest following a 2015 conviction for inciting violence. The opposition seeks to boycott the vote while the government defends the constitutional rewrite as a path out of the crisis.
