STORYLINE:
Venezuela’s opposition leaders attended a rally at one of the main universities in Venezuela to speak with students about the future ahead should they win July 28 elections and end 25 years of socialist party rule.
Presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez and leader Maria Corina Machado spoke at the emblematic Central University of Venezuela in Caracas where they listened to a crowd of hundreds of students eagerly chanting slogans.
"Being a generation that has never known democracy you are so exceptional that you have not stopped fighting for it," said Machado to the youth.
The upcoming election is shaping up to be the biggest challenge the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela has faced in its 25-year dominance that began when the fiery Hugo Chávez became president.
