Venezuela’s opposition coalition has decided on a triple-barreled strategy to oust President Nicolás Maduro before the end of his term. The opposition will simultaneously pursue a constitutional amendment, a recall referendum and a campaign to push for the resignation of Mr. Maduro, said an opposition leader, Américo De Grazia. The coalition of more than a dozen mostly centrist parties reached the agreement on Thursday. Mr. Maduro’s term ends in 2019. The opposition promised to find a way to remove Mr. Maduro within the first half of 2016.
