Venezuela Opposition Leader Rosales Flees to Peru.

Venezuelan opposition leader and Maracaibo Mayor Manuel Rosales . . . has left [Venezuela] and is seeking political asylum in Peru.

The mayor is being “politically persecuted,” said his wife, Eveling Rosales . . . . Manuel Rosales, 56, lost the 2006 presidential election to President Hugo Chavez.

“The fundamental problem is that there’s no credibility in the judicial system, which is a system that’s been completely politicized,” Leopoldo Lopez, a member of Rosales’s Un Nuevo Tiempo party and former mayor of the Caracas borough of Chacao, said in a telephone interview. “This is retaliation and selective repression.”
