Last night one of the leaders of the opposition went on Venezuelan television saying that the power of the economic shutdown of Venezuela was weakening, and as he called on his fellow opposition forces to maintain their acts of economic paralysis, many pro-government supporters noted that the tide was indeed turning in their direction.

Over the last two days these administrative procedures have been used by the opposition as evidence that Chavez is attempting to shut down the media. Deepa Fernandes reports from Caracas.
