Venezuela's opposition Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) was this week forced to register an unknown candidate after being unable to sign up Corina Yoris to face off against President Nicolas Maduro, who is seeking a third term in office. "We very firmly condemn the exclusion of a serious and credible candidate from this process," Macron said at a press conference in Brasilia, at the end of a three-day official visit to Brazil.
