Groups sympathetic to the former antichavista presidential candidate Henrique Capriles surrounded the headquarters of the television channel Telesur and threatened the workers, said the president of the channel, Patricia Villegas.

...

"We don't know if it's the same people (who just now besieged the state channel Venezolana de Television), but they serve the same political movement that called for destabilization," Villegas explained.

In a telephone interview, Villegas said that right-wing groups arrived "about five to seven minutes ago has come this group of Capriles' opposition supporters , who lost the election screaming fraud! Fraud!, And have threatened the station's workers.''

...

Also, were also harassed the houses of the Chairperson of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Tibisay Lucena, and parents of former Minister of Communication and Information and member of Hugo Chavez' campaign headquarters, Andres Izarra.

Meanwhile, Telesur correspondent, William Parra, reported from the northeast of Caracas that ''there is a large group of Chavistas who came to guard the house of campaign manager, Jorge Rodriguez.''
