Venezuela's opposition has vowed no letup in its bid to remove President Nicolas Maduro from power amid the ongoing unrest in the Latin American nation. Maduro's center-right rivals say they will go ahead with new street protests. They are urging all-out street rallies to push for elections. The protests are fueled by a crippling economic crisis in the oil-exporting nation. The opposition blames the government for shortages of food, medicine and other essentials. Maduro, however, says the crisis stems from what he calls a US-backed capitalist conspiracy. Meanwhile, Venezuela's chief state prosecutor says 26 people have been killed since anti-government protests began a month ago.
