Venezuela opposition plans unofficial July 16 vote on Maduro plan

Venezuela’s opposition plans to organize an unofficial referendum later this month on President Nicolas Maduro’s controversial plan to rewrite the constitution via a special new congress, opposition sources said on Monday.

The Democratic Unity coalition will organize the vote for July 16, two senior opposition sources confirmed. That would be two weeks ahead of the planned July 30 national vote proposed by Maduro for a Constituent Assembly with powers to reform the charter and supersede existing institutions.
