HUNDREDS of thousands of Venezuelans rallied in Caracas at the weekend as part of a “world protest day” denouncing the economic war waged on the country by the US.
Demonstrators carried placards reading “No more Trump” and “Hands off Venezuela” while solidarity protests took place in dozens of countries including the US, France, Germany, Italy, Argentina and South Korea.
President Nicolas Maduro saluted the huge crowds as “warriors of the fatherland” who were “prepared to overcome the blockade of the gringo empire.”
