Twenty protesters were arrested after the demonstration.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Times admits that Maduro would probably lose a recall vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If the referendum happens this year and Mr. Maduro loses, Venezuelans will have the opportunity to elect a new president. But the government, which is responsible for organizing such a vote, wishes to hold it next year. If Mr. Maduro loses in 2017, the leftist vice president will serve what is left of his six-year term.<\/p>\n<p>Polls show that Mr. Maduro would be likely to lose a referendum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank Jimmy Carter, kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El Pueblo de #VillaRosa en Margarita sin miedo!
