Dozens of retired military officers joined by hundreds of civilians marched toward the presidential palace Thursday to demand the resignation of President Hugo Chavez.
The protesters said they were angry at Chavez’s politicization of the armed forces, budget cuts and ties to Cuba.
Some of the marchers, led by former national guard Lt. Hidalgo Valero, carried their uniforms on poles because they faced 30-day jail terms under military law if they wore them for a political demonstration.
