World Anti-Chavez Day

Correction to an earlier post (the march was yesterday, not today):

Thousands of opponents of Hugo Chavez marched against the Venezuelan president across Latin America on Friday, accusing him of everything from authoritarianism to international meddling.

The protests, coordinated through Twitter and Facebook, drew more than 5,000 people in Bogota, and thousands more in the capitals of Venezuela and Honduras. Smaller demonstrations were held in other Latin American capitals, as well as New York and Madrid.

Update: Tens of thousands of people marched through Venezuela's capital Caracas on Saturday to protest what they call growing authoritarianism by President Hugo Chávez.
