Sharjah 24 – AFP: Venezuela's opposition leader emerged from hiding on Saturday, declaring "We have never been so strong," as President Nicolas Maduro slammed what he called attempts to "usurp the presidency" following last week's disputed election.
Thousands gathered peacefully across Venezuela, including in the capital Caracas where Maria Corina Machado thrilled supporters with a surprise appearance in a truck bearing a banner reading "Venezuela has won!"
"We have never been so strong as today," Machado told the crowd, adding "the regime has never been weaker."
Backers cried out "Freedom!" as Machado's truck passed by.
