    BBC News, Caracas

    Tens of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in support of the main opposition candidate, Manuel Rosales.
    Mr Rosales will face President Hugo Chavez in December's presidential poll.

    The march, which filled the main avenues of the city centre, was the biggest opposition rally Venezuela has seen since early 2004.

    Then, protesters made an unsuccessful bid to oust Mr Chavez from power in a recall referendum.

    Chance to unite

    Caracas - The main opposition candidate in Venezuela's December elections, Manuel Rosales, was greeted by tens of thousands of supporters at his first rally in Caracas.

    Venezuelans would have to choose between 'freedom and dictatorship, between peace and war' in the December 3 poll, Rosales said in a speech in the centre of the capital on Saturday.

    Rosales described the government of President Hugo Chavez as the 'clown of the communist and totalitarian' regime of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and said Venezuela was being governed from Havana.
