Amid the daily reality of living off a minimum wage worth $3.70 a month, Venezuelans are again hearing election chatter as the opposition gets ready to hold a presidential primary Oct. 22.

The unprecedented violence affecting Ecuador has claimed the life of another political leader, bringing the number of politics-related slayings within the last four weeks to three, including that of a presidential candidate.

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó says he has crossed the border into Colombia on foot to seek a meeting with international delegations gathering there for a conference focused on his country’s political crisis.
