Brazil increases pressure on Venezuela to set election date

[Zorro]

Brazil urged Venezuela's government on Thursday to set a date for a parliamentary election as soon as possible, stepping up pressure on its leftist ally and neighbour to resolve a simmering political crisis.

Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said he met with Venezuelan government officials this week and told them a date must be set quickly for the National Assembly election that is meant to be held before the end of the year.

"I insisted that elections should be called as soon as possible and held within the legal time frame," Vieira said at a news conference.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's opponents see the parliamentary election as a chance to capitalise on widespread discontent over a deepening economic crisis and advance towards ending more than 15 years of socialist rule.

They already manipulated electoral data magically finding population gains in chavista controlled areas, and therefore more congressional seats.
