CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition will prioritise laws to free jailed activists and reform the crisis-hit economy if it wins Dec. 6 elections to take control of the legislature away from the ruling socialists for the first time in 16 years.

But there would be no "witch hunt" against foes or any rush towards a recall referendum to try to oust President Nicolas Maduro, Democratic Unity coalition head Jesus Torrealba told Reuters.
