AT LEAST four people have been killed as a further wave of far-right protests shook Venezuela over the last two days.

Two people died on Thursday in a fire in the Housing Ministry in Zulia state after a crowd of around 100 opposition supporters surrounded the building and set it ablaze, while two others were killed in clashes between opposition and government supporters.

Many others were taken to hospital during a “general strike” called by opposition figures on Thursday. The strike had mixed results with workers in some areas walking out, while others continued work as normal.
