Today, Friday, May 12th, hundreds of elderly protesters joined the “democratic resistance” and marched towards the Ombudsman’s Office in rejection of the National Constituent Assembly summoned by dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The mobilization known as the “grandparents march” is part of a series of protests against the Venezuelan government that have been continuing for over 42 days after the coup d’état undertaken by the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) in which it usurped the functions of the National Assembly.

The march will be held in Caracas from the Plaza Brion in Chacaito, but will be replicated in several cities all over the country’s heartland, such as Carabobo, Zulia and Delta Amacuro.

“Grandparents” will be in charge of the mobilization under the slogan “for our grandchildren”, who march on despite repression by the regime that has left 39 dead, hundreds injured and more than 2,000 detainees.

 

This is how the “grandparents march” is developing

Elderly opposition members mobilized to march and reject the dictatorial regime’s Constituent Assembly. They want freedom.

Tweet: Grandparents who support the opposition crossed police control points and continue to march along Libertador avenue, 11:55am #12May.

The grandparents along with the rest of the Venezuelan opposition are marching along Libertador avenue in spite of the regime’s repression.

The chief of the Bolivarian National Police decided to accompany the grandparents in the opposition march. Opposition members appreciate the officers’ support.

The regime started repressing the elderly by spraying tear gas.

In the early morning, Caracas’ inhabitants woke up with the surprise of having the city’s main road (Francisco Fajardo highway) blocked. The area was the meeting point for the grandparents’ march.
