LA VICTORIA, Venezuela — The presidential candidate of Venezuela ’s chief opposition coalition on Saturday sought to cultivate a mood of hope and possibility in a massive rally that marked the start of a campaign he admittedly never imagined leading.
He was joined on stage by Machado, whose candidacy for the July 28 election was barred by the government of President. The crowd cheered for both. Street vendors sold T-shirts and baseball caps promoting the duo for $10. Venezuelan flags were also on sale.
“We will achieve it! I have faith in God, and I ask him for this, on my knees, every day so that my grandchildren and children can return,” Contreras, a retired secretary, said. “I came here alone and on an empty stomach. It’s horrible what happened to this community.” González began his career as an aide to Venezuela’s ambassador in the U.S. in the late 1970s. He had postings in Belgium and El Salvador and served as Caracas’ ambassador to Algeria.
