This Monday the process of presenting candidates for the presidential elections on July 28 concludes. The majority opposition hopes to be able to nominate Corina Yoris - its candidate in the face of the disqualification of María Corina Machado.

But Chavismo is already creating obstacles. At least nine candidates have registered, including the governor of the oil state of Zulia, Manuel Rosales, who was already a presidential candidate in 2006. But the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), which brings together the bulk of the opposition parties in Venezuela, denounced that it has not had access to the official system.
