Venezuela protests in Winnipeg

Protests in Venezuela continue following the disputed presidential election on July 28, with opposition leader María Corina Machado claiming victory for her candidate, Edmundo González, amidst accusations of election fraud against President Nicolás Maduro. Tens of thousands of citizens took to the streets in Caracas and other cities, demanding an end to Maduro’s presidency, despite a violent crackdown resulting in at least 11 deaths and over 1,200 arrests. International recognition of González's claim to victory has come from countries like the US, Argentina, and Peru, while Maduro's administration, backed by China and Russia, insists on its legitimacy. Concurrently, pro-Maduro demonstrations are also occurring, with supporters mobilizing to express their backing for the president amid ongoing political turmoil. Women’s groups are organizing marches in support of Maduro, emphasizing their commitment to peace and stability in Venezuela. The protests have also sparked solidarity demonstrations in cities like Winnipeg, Canada, highlighting the global concern for Venezuela's political crisis.
