Venezuela Opposition Picks Strategy to Oust President

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/venezuela-opposition-picks-strategy-oust-president-maduro-37365893

Venezuela's opposition coalition has decided on a triple-barreled strategy to oust President Nicolas Maduro before the end of his term.

The opposition will simultaneously pursue a constitutional amendment, a recall referendum and a campaign to push for the resignation of the embattled socialist president, said opposition leader Americo De Grazia.

The coalition of more than a dozen mostly centrist political parties reached the agreement on strategy after a long day of meetings Wednesday.

"We can't commit suicide by having just one card in our hand. Common political sense tells us we need to pursue several strategies," he said.

next election, or if there is a recall who they would put up. It won't be Diosdado. Chavez's daughter maybe? I don't see any chavista as being anything but damaged goods.

First they have to take that institution back from Chavista hands. Then they can worry about impeaching Maduro
