Hundreds of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, to protest against President Nicolas Maduro.
Opposition supporters, staging their largest rally for two years, called for Mr Maduro's removal.
They blame him for Venezuela's economic crisis and accuse the electoral commission of delaying a referendum that could shorten his stay in power.
Mr Maduro's supporters also rallied in large numbers.
He accuses the opposition of trying to stage a coup.

The opposition said close to a million people turned out for their march, that authorities dubbed the "Takeover of Caracas", but the government disputed the figures.
"We have shown to the world the importance of Venezuela and how much it wants change," said opposition politician Jesus Torrealba.
Dressed predominantly in white, they chanted "we are going to bring down Maduro".
Protesters said they had enough of the policies of the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
"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.
A small group of protesters clashed with riot police as the peaceful rally ended.
"The nation has triumphed. They wanted to intimidate the people but the people are here," said Mr Maduro at a rally in central Caracas he said was attended by 30,000 people.
"We have defeated an attempted coup that tried to fill Venezuela and Caracas with violence, death," he said.
In the run-up to the march, a number of opposition politicians were detained.
Last week, Daniel Ceballos of the opposition Popular Will party was returned to prison after having spent a year under house arrest awaiting trial on charges of rebellion.
The Interior Ministry said he was planning on escaping from house arrest to carry out acts of violence during Thursday's rally.
Mr Ceballos was one of the politicians arrested in 2014 over violent anti-government protests that swept through Venezuela at the time.
Forty-three people on both sides of the political divide where killed during those protests.
Popular Will party activists Carlos Melo and Yon Goicoechea have also been arrested over the past few days, the first suspected of carrying a "detonator cord" and the latter of carrying explosives.
The opposition hopes the march will pressure the electoral authorities into allowing them to launch the second petition needed to trigger the recall referendum as soon as possible.
Timing is key as the date when the referendum is held will determine what happens next.
If a referendum should go against the president before 10 January, new elections will be held, which the opposition hopes to win.
But if it is held after that date and Mr Maduro is recalled, his loyal vice-president will serve out the end of his term until 2019.

Shut your mouth about incompetence. You won't know incompetence if it jumped from a moving vehicle to wallop you in the face.

Some other government inherited surpluses of 35bn US dollars, made 100 dollars a barrel everyday for six years and returned this trash of a country to you, you did not complain and you are talking competence.
Do you even know what an economy is?
Do you know what drives it?
How many of the things that drive an economy did the last administration improve?
So opease SHUT your mouth and humble yourself.

Do you even have light at home? .
If so, thank God. That is just 6000MW built after spending 20 billion dollars.
You are finished and you don't know it.
Do you have fuel to run he generat or?. Good. That was 1billion dollars every month importing it with all four refineries in Nigeria killed.
They have finished your generation and the man who was President then not even half aware of it.

If you refuse to face HARD TRUTH about the past you will repeat its mistakes and wreck your life.
What book is it written that you must always cowardly hide from the truth or refuse to call a spade a spade in order to succeed?.

The economic problem of Nigeria has already been solved by Buhari . The setback from the Niger Delta is 300 million dollars every month. If we had that coming, maybe things would have been better.
However, the main structural issues have bern cleared with fuel subsidy removal and floating of the Naira.
All that remains is PRAYERS, TIME itself and hard WORK. If we do innovatiOn technology and efficiency improvement we can even improve on the time it takes.

Pls don't channel the frustration and hungry in your family towards me , I was just saying that some capable Nigerians would have manage that little money that PDP left with monthly, numerous tax , removal of subsidy money very well and appointing merited Nigerians not those that he trust that can't perform . Or did past government loot the brains and capability of APC government ? If you have human and sensible mind as yourself this simple question " if other countries that don't have up to 60% of our resources can live better than majority of Nigerians definitely something is very wrong ?
