French President Emmanuel Macron and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday hit out at Venezuela over the exclusion of a key opposition candidate from July elections.
Macron condemned the blocking of Corina Yoris "very firmly" while Lula said it was "serious" that the main opposition had not been able to register its chosen candidate, at a joint press conference in Brasilia.
