Venezuelans launch petition

Venezuela’s President Nicholas Maduro has embarked on a mission to gather 10 million signatures before the 7th summit of the Americas, scheduled for April 10-11 in Panama City. The signatures are part of petition to US President Barack Obama to revoke his March 9 executive order declaring Venezuela a ‘security threat.’
The local leg of the campaign is being spearheaded by the Venezuelan embassy, which held its first signature drive at Bideau Park in Castries on Monday march 24th.
