STORYLINE:
Venezuelan soldiers fired tear gas at tens of thousands of President Hugo Chavez's opponents who marched on Sunday on a park outside a military base to demand the support of the armed forces for a 42-day-old strike.
Protesters regrouped as the gas clouds lifted, shouting "cowards" at hundreds of soldiers who faced them with armoured personnel carriers.
Troops also kept back dozens of Chavez supporters protesting nearby.
The first marchers to arrive at Los Proceres park, which is outside the Fort Tiuna military base, had stomped down barbed wire blocking the entrance, but didn't try to break past security lines.
The park is one of eight security zones in Caracas as decreed by Chavez. Protests are banned in those areas unless authorized by the defence ministry.
