Several hundred students had gathered in the Central University of Venezuela’s campus, chanting slogans and singing the national anthem. But their route to the ministry was blocked by hundreds of riot police and national guard troops. There were no reports of clashes. Turnout at the protests he called on Saturday was far lower than earlier in the year. In January, Guaido assumed an interim presidency after declaring Maduro’s 2018 re-election a fraud. His supporters are frustrated that, ten months on, Maduro remains in power despite aggressive U.S. sanctions and over 50 nations recognizing Guaido as the rightful president.
“The Central University of Venezuela will never give up in the face of a regime that simply wants to ignore the people and for those in the street to remain silent,” said Jesus Carrero, a 19-year-old international studies student.
