In this May 19, 2014 photo released by the Rosa Brandonisio Press Office, mayoral candidate Rosa Brandonisio, center, poses with supporters during a campaign rally in San Diego, Venezuela. Brandonisio, 54, had scant experience in politics when her husband was ousted in March, at the height of unrest, and arrested for allegedly failing to carry out a government order to remove street barricades in the opposition strongholds they governed. Although women occupy positions of power within Maduro's Cabinet, the armed forces and as pro-government community activists, their prominence within the opposition leadership is more recent, a result of a crackdown that has forced several to serve as stand-ins for their imprisoned husbands.
