Maduro Wants South America to Meet on Venezuela Crisis President Nicolas Maduro called Thursday for a meeting of South American leaders on the turmoil in Venezuela after more than a month of anti-government street protests. Maduro made the request to visiting Suriname President Desi Bouterse, the current head of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur). The move came a day after the Venezuelan leader broke off relations with Panama following its call for a meeting of the rival Washington-based Organization of American States on the crisis. Maduro said he wanted a Unasur meeting convened so he could to explain the attacks, the violence, the small groups that have tried to undermine social life and impose a political situation that our country is overcoming. In a speech Wednesday, Maduro angrily rejected OAS involvement, saying Venezuela would turn to other regional organizations that do not include the United States. naharnet/stories/en/121564-maduro-wants-south-america-to-meet-on-venezuela-crisis
