Chavez rival in big Caracas rally
CARACAS. October 1. KAZINFORM Venezuelan opposition candidate Henrique Capriles has drawn a huge crowd of supporters for his final campaign rally in the capital, Caracas.
Mr Capriles criticised President Hugo Chavez for what he called a long list of unfulfilled promises.
And he demanded justice for three opposition activists killed during a rally in Barinas state on Saturday.
Mr Chavez addressed large crowds in Zulia state, promising to deepen socialism after the 7 October election, according to BBC.
Tens of thousands of people thronged the streets of Caracas on Sunday to voice their support for Mr Capriles.
"I think this is the biggest rally Caracas has ever seen," Mr Capriles said.
"Bolivar Avenue is too small for us," he said, as referring to one of the city's main streets.
He also paid tribute to the three men who had died at the weekend.
"Yesterday, sadly, violence took three lives, something that should never have happened," Mr Capriles said, in his last major rally in the capital before the election.
