Chavez backers march through Venezuela's capital
None
Supporters of President Hugo Chavez took to the streets by the thousands Saturday, flooding a downtown avenue to demonstrate their backing for the socialist leader's crackdown on allegedly crooked real-estate and construction companies.
Waving Venezuelan flags and wearing T-shirts bearing pro-government slogans, roughly 5,000 Chavez supporters marched through downtown Caracas. Some chanted "Viva Chavez!" while others held up banners heralding the president's order for officials to seize control of more than a dozen residential complexes. (AP)
