Yesterday, the streets were filled with hope, real (from a president that stands on the future) and feigned (from a president that stands on fear). Alleged loyalists to Maduro keep making the jump and the international community is hellbent on helping us through this process.
For years, protests have clustered in Caracas and a handful of big Venezuelan cities. Today, even places like Tucupita, Caripe and Altagracia de Orituco took to the streets.
In every corner of Venezuela, citizens protest demanding freedom and peacefully resisting Maduro’s dictatorship, and they’ve gotten better at it. Does this mean the Venezuelan opposition is all grown up?
As things fall apart, the Maduro regime is going to unprecedented lengths to stop Juan Guaidó: blocking social media, shutting down radio shows, even jailing foreign journalists.
Guaidó presented Plan País and then calmly tackled a little FAES-in-his-home issue. Nicolás keeps doing his videos for social media while Venezuelans are presented with actual solutions.
We’ve been able to hang on for 21 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
