After the capture of the Venezuelan president, civil organizations called the rally that began before 11:00 a.m. During the event, protesters expressed that the attacks represent a “threat and warning” to the people of Latin America and the world.
With slogans such as “Venezuela, listen, Mexico is in your fight,” those attending asked for an end to the attacks. Some carried signs with messages such as “Latin America is not the US’s backyard” or “Yankee pirates out of the Caribbean.”
A group of protesters – some with their faces covered – painted on the doors of the US embassy headquarters, where they wrote messages such as “Return to Maduro” and “Yankees out.”
Despite these acts, the organizers called for keeping the protest peaceful and avoiding provocations.
After demonstrating at the United States embassy, the protesters marched towards the Venezuelan embassy. The contingent chanted protests against the American intervention and in favor of Palestine.
