Description
Venezuelans in Caracas react to the decision by leading opposition leader Maria Corina Machado to name Corina Yoris as her stand-in to run in the July 28 presidential election, after she was banned from holding public office for 15 years. Yoris, a university professor, will run against President Nicolas Maduro.
While nurse Aura Ponte welcomes the decision, describing the 80-year-old university professor as a "prepared woman with a strong resume," others disagree, including cook Isabel Febres, who believes Corina Yoris "has no chance against President Nicolas Maduro."
The Venezuelan opposition is now denouncing a "blockade" on the electoral authority's website that would prevent the effective nomination of Yoris by the registered parties that support her. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
