President Hugo Chavez Frias' Venezuelan opponents living in New York have called for a world demonstration on March 9 to urge President Hugo Chavez Frias to step down or accept an electoral solution to the current political crisis.

They are hoping for demonstrations in several European cities, as well as in the United States and across Latin America.

There will also be a demonstration outside the Whit House in Washington on the same day, organized by Lucha Democratica, SAVE Venezuela and Resistencia Civil de Venezolanos en el Exterior (Recivex).

Recivex claims to be active in over 100 cities worldwide and groups several other opposition organizations based outside Venezuela.
