Venezuela opposition accuses government of post-vote vendetta

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition is accusing state institutions of intimidating and threatening to fire employees critical of President Nicolas Maduro after a disputed election that stirred protests and a wave of violence.

Activists are outraged at two recordings that appear to show officials vowing to sack workers who support opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who narrowly lost a snap election to replace the late socialist president Hugo Chavez.
