AFP. 17 April 2002. Venezuelan opposition party to seek trial of Chavez for killings. CARACAS -- A Venezuelan opposition party, Democratic Action, rose up Wednesay against President Hugo Chavez's government, questioning the elected leader's legitimacy and blaming him for "genocide" in last week's unrest. "Chavez is not the legitimate president of the Republic," the secretary general of the social democratic party shouted in a heated National Assembly session, pointing to "legal and political reasons." An AD statement said the party would seek to have Chavez tried by national and international bodies for the killings that took place April 11 when his supporters clashed with political foes in downtown Caracas, lawmaker Edgar Zambrano said. Political violence that lasted until Sunday was blamed for 57 deaths and at least 400 injuries, firefighters here said. Zambrano said his party would not support any coup, or the return to power of Chavez who was briefly ousted in a two-day derailed coup. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
