委內瑞拉爆發大規模遊行 上百萬民衆要求總統下臺

Hundreds of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in rival demonstrations.

近日，數十萬反對派支持者在委內瑞拉的首都加拉加斯的街頭遊行示威。

Opposition supporters, staging their largest rally for two years, called for President Nicolas Maduro's removal.

這是兩年來反對派支持者舉行的最大規模集會，他們要求總統尼古拉斯·馬杜羅下臺。

They blame him for Venezuela's economic crisis and accuse the electoral commission of delaying a referendum that could shorten his stay in power.

他們譴責了當前委內瑞拉國內嚴重的經濟危機，控告國家選舉委員延遲舉行可能會縮短馬杜羅的執政期的公投。

Mr Maduro, whose supporters also rallied in huge numbers, accused the opposition of trying to stage a coup.

馬杜羅的支持者也舉行了大規模集會，譴責反對派試圖發動政變。

"The nation has triumphed. They wanted to intimidate the people but the people are here," said Mr Maduro at a rally in central Caracas. "We have defeated an attempted coup that tried to fill Venezuela and Caracas with violence, death."

馬杜羅在加拉加斯中心的集會上說道：“我們已取得勝利。他們想要恐嚇人民，但是人民就在這裏。我們挫敗了一次未遂政變，他們試圖讓委內瑞拉、讓加拉加斯充滿暴力。”

"We have shown to the world the importance of Venezuela and how much it wants change," said opposition politician Jesus Torrealba.

反對派政治家耶穌·託瑞艾巴則稱：“我們向全世界表明了委內瑞拉的重要性及其期望改變的意願。”

Protesters said they had enough of the policies of the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela.

抗議者表示，他們已準備了充足的政策來統治委內瑞拉執政黨社會主義統一黨。

"We are going to defeat hunger, crime, inflation and corruption. They've done nothing in 17 years. Their time is finished," Naty Gutierrez told Reuters news agency.

娜蒂·古鐵雷斯在接受路透社採訪時表示：“我們準備解決飢餓、犯罪、通貨膨脹以及貪污問題。馬杜羅政府在過去17年裏什麼也沒做成，是時候結束他們的統治了。”

A small group of protesters clashed with riot police as the peaceful rally ended. In the run-up to the march, a number of opposition politicians were detained.

和平集會結束後，一小部分抗議者與防暴警察發生衝突。在遊行的準備階段，許多反對派政界人士已經被逮捕。
