CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan opposition leader Freddy Guevara on Tuesday called on adversaries of President Nicolas Maduro to seek "coexistence" with the ruling Socialist Party rather than attempting to force a change in government.

Guevara, recently released from prison after being pulled from his car by security forces in July, said the opposition should focus on the ongoing talks with the government in Mexico as its best option to address the country's political standoff.
