Venezuela: Opposition Drops Symbolic Trial Against President Maduro
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro scored a political victory
Tuesday when the opposition-led National Assembly announced it had
suspended its symbolic trial against Maduro on charges he had been
derelict in his duties as president. The opposition also canceled an
anti-government march planned for Thursday. This comes after Maduro's
government released five opposition activists from jail on Monday. Talks
between the government and the opposition are planned for November 11.
