2 Chavez opponents barred from office in Venezuela

Advertisements [?]

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela's top anti-corruption official on Tuesday barred two opponents of President Hugo Chavez from holding public office, preventing them from running in September legislative elections.

The decision by Comptroller General Clodosbaldo Russian, a Chavez ally, blocks candidacies by former presidential candidate Manuel Rosales and former Sucre state Gov. Ramon Martinez.

The two had been on the opposition's list of candidates for the National Assembly elections.
