Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino said that the opposition’s call for the Army to respect the Constitution was totally unnecessary, given that officials are aware of their duty. In other matters, Venezuelan authorities say they have arrested three suspects in the murder of opposition candidate Luis Manuel Diaz, who is reportedly linked to construction union mafias in Juarico and was a member of a criminal gang known as Los Plateados, which specializes in extortion, assassination and kidnapping. teleSUR
