Both ruling and opposition parties are calling for rallies and marches on September 28 regarding the results of the Venezuelan presidential election.
Previous protests have resulted in casualties in some areas.
Even peaceful gatherings can escalate unexpectedly, so please take precautions to ensure your safety and avoid unforeseen incidents.
On September 28 (Saturday), marking two months since the presidential election held on July 28, both the ruling and opposition parties are expected to hold rallies and marches in Venezuela.
The opposition has not designated a specific location in Caracas for their gathering but is urging individuals to organize groups of 40 or more participants. They are encouraged to gather at safe locations at noon and share updates via social media.
The ruling party has announced plans for a march to celebrate the two-month anniversary of President Maduro’s victory, though details regarding the time and place have yet to be released.
In protests immediately following the election, clashes between security forces and demonstrators resulted in casualties in some areas. While no major confrontations have been reported since, peaceful gatherings can still escalate into violent clashes with security forces or result in mob violence.
To avoid getting caught up in unexpected situations, please stay informed through the news and follow these safety measures to protect yourself:
Avoid areas where rallies and marches are taking place. If you encounter such gatherings, leave the area immediately.
Since road closures and traffic jams may occur due to rallies and marches, allow extra time for travel and remain vigilant of your surroundings.
