Thousands Demand Release of Maduro and His Wife in Venezuela

Thousands Demand Release of Maduro and His Wife

In Caracas, Venezuela, thousands took part in a march to demand the release of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The couple was abducted by US forces in a nighttime raid one month prior. The protest, titled 'Gran Marcha,' saw participants carrying signs and banners urging their return, emphasizing international law violations and threats to Venezuela's sovereignty.

The march was organized by the Venezuelan government and included public sector workers, reflecting a call for national unity. Local media highlighted it as part of a global day of action, with solidarity protests worldwide. Demonstrators expressed strong emotions over the situation, while interim president Delcy Rodriguez works to balance reforms and US demands, particularly on oil reserves. She has freed political prisoners and opened economic sectors to private investment, though public opinion remains divided.

International attention continues as the community advocates for Maduro's return and opposes foreign intervention.
