Hundreds of thousands march in Venezuela in defence of the Bolivarian Revolution
Supporters of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro raise their hands during an anti-intervention march coinciding with the anniversary of the deadly 1989 social uprising against neoliberal measures known as the Caracazo, in Caracas

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets of Caracas yesterday in solidarity with President Nicolas Maduro and defending the legacy of Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution. 

They were marking the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Caracazo uprising when thousands of Venezuelans “broke the chains of imperialism.”

Thousands poured out from the barrios onto the streets of the capital and the nearby city of Guarenas in protest at rising prices of basic goods.
