Venezuela Protests Turn Violent as Government Cracks Down The streets of Caracas have been filled with protests for weeks, driven by widespread discontent over a sharp decline in living standards, shortages of basic goods, and the erosion of democratic institutions.
Demonstrators are calling for an end to the economic crisis and the ouster of President Nicolás Maduro's government. At its core, this is a struggle over the future of Venezuela.
Protesters demand that their voices be heard and their rights as citizens respected.
