Tensions rise in Venezuela.
In Caracas, the opposition marches Wednesday towards the government building housing the office of the Ombudsman in the city center–an area known as the “bastion of Chavismo.” The rest of the country joins the protest to continue demanding an end to the dictatorship.
The government also issued a call to its “revolutionary” supporters to march to to the presidential palace of Miraflores. Government calls to action have previously resulted in armed chavista paramilitary groups attacking opposition protesters, a clash that has left 26 dead over the past few weeks.
As the country takes to the streets on Wednesday, the Organization of American States (OAS) will convene a meeting of foreign ministers to discuss the crisis. The meeting comes after 14 member states called on President Nicolas Maduro to restore the country’s democracy.
