Venezuelan youth held a vigil in Plaza Diego Ibarra in Caracas to demand the release of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, after their kidnapping by the US on January 3.
The president in charge, Delcy Rodríguez, shared an audiovisual of the emotional activity through her Telegram channel. Attendees used candles to form the phrase “Free Maduro and Cilia,” symbolizing the flame of hope.
The president accompanied the publication with a heartfelt message in which she indicated that Venezuelans are today more “united in love and loyalty.”
Finally, he noted: “We walk more firmly than ever for the peace and well-being of the Venezuelan people,” and assured with determination that “Venezuela united will win.”
It should be noted that the presidential couple was kidnapped in the early hours of January 3 during a US military raid.
In this attack, soldiers and civilians lost their lives, and considerable material losses were recorded for the health and telecommunications sectors, as well as damage to homes and an educational center within the Fuerte Tiuna complex, generating fear and trauma in the population.
