Henrique Capriles became the most senior political figure in Venezuela to speak against opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's presidential candidacy, explaining in a local television interview that "an option" should be the priority as she has been banned from running in this year's presidential elections.
"It's not about having a plan B, I don't think that the correct choice of words is to talk about a substitute, I'd rather talk about options", said Capriles, adding that he doesn't believe "Maduro will lift his ban, regardless of the pressure."
