Why it matters:
The U.S. intervention in Venezuela has sparked outcry across Latin America and beyond, fueling protests at home and abroad that highlight support for Venezuela’s national sovereignty and opposition to foreign intervention and information warfare.
The big picture:
Demonstrators in Caracas and other cities describe the protests as a grassroots rejection of U.S. “imperialism.” Government supporters argue that viral videos circulating online that appear to show anti-government demonstrations are either AI-generated or recycled footage. They say the reality on the ground shows mobilization in support of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
What they’re saying:
In Caracas, protesters chanted slogans including: “We, the youth, will stand up to you” and “Listen to me, Gringo, we are ready.”
Protests abroad, including in the U.K., featured chants and signs reading “Hands Off Venezuela.”
Demonstrators described their actions as a defense of national sovereignty, with speakers accusing Washington of violating international law and attempting regime change. Outside Venezuela, solidarity rallies carried similar messages, with signs and chants rejecting foreign intervention and calling for respect for Venezuela’s self-determination.
