CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition called a two-day national strike against President Nicolas Maduro after another day of violent clashes on Saturday where the injured included a violinist famous for his musical protests.

The opposition coalition - which organised a 24-hour shutdown this week that was heeded by millions and paralysed large swathes of the South American nation - said the next strike would be on Wednesday and Thursday.
