VIOLENT PROTESTS broke out in places across the Venezuelan capital Caracas on July 29, in the aftermath of the country’s presidential election.
Far-right mobs have attempted to block major roads, including the road next to the Simon Bolivar International Airport, and have attacked buses, police cars, and members of the country’s security forces.
The protests seem to be in response to calls by the defeated far-right opposition that on Sunday evening refused to recognise the victory of Nicolas Maduro.
In response to these incidents, different Venezuelan officials have called for a return to peace and an end to the violent protests.
