This weekend, on Saturday, January 3, thousands of Venezuelans poured into the streets of Caracas to condemn the US airstrikes launched earlier in the day and decry the reported capture of President Nicolas Maduro. The lively crowd carried flags and signs, transforming Plaza Bolívar into a sea of red, blue, and yellow. 🇻🇪✊
Despite the early morning chill, the energy was electric. Young activists led chants calling for national sovereignty and respect for Venezuela’s democracy. Many waved banners reading “No to foreign intervention” and used smartphones to livestream the protest in real time on social media. 📱🔥
The gathering showcased a mix of students, professionals, and families united by a shared message: solidarity with their leader and rejection of external military action. Local analysts say this weekend’s rally highlights growing civic engagement among Venezuelans, especially the youth, who are eager to defend their country’s autonomy. 🌐✨
As night fell, the crowd dispersed peacefully, but the voices from Caracas continue to resonate across the country and online. For many, this demonstration was more than a protest—it was a statement of pride and unity in a critical moment for Venezuela. 💪🎉
