Venezuela court drops bid to strip congress of power
Venezuela's Supreme Court on Saturday abandoned measures to seize power from the opposition-controlled legislature after the moves drew international condemnation and raised pressure on President Nicolas Maduro. Maduro had earlier said the court would review its controversial rulings, which prompted opposition calls for mass protest marches on Saturday in the volatile country stricken by an economic and political crisis. It also revoked an earlier ruling that stripped lawmakers of their immunity from prosecution.
