Maria Corina Machado, the central figure in Venezuela's opposition battle to end President Nicolas Maduro's 11-year rule, has called for a global movement similar to the international campaign against apartheid in South Africa.** The opposition claims its candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, won a landslide in the recent presidential election, but Maduro insists he won. A judge has issued an arrest warrant for Gonzalez, who is now in hiding. Machado says she won't go into exile and hopes Venezuela's struggle for democracy will become 'a world cause'. The EU, UK, Brazil, and Colombia have expressed concern over the situation. **Despite repression and arrests, Machado insists the opposition is stronger than ever and the regime is weaker.
