Venezuelan families gathered at the Arco de la Calzada to celebrate the “freedom and peace” of their country, following the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro.
They sang and shouted “Viva!” with their homeland’s flag at the forefront, for the end of the “Chavista regime,” which “repressed,” “impoverished, and denied freedom of expression” to their people.
“They took so much from us, they even took away our fear,” they wrote on signs.
Members of the Venezuelan community in León commented that after 26 years of “hunger,” hospitals without medicine, and millions displaced who sought asylum in other countries, “the time for freedom has arrived.”
The end of “the dictatorship” is the beginning of “a Free and Peaceful Venezuela,” of “returning home,” expressed at least a dozen men, young people, and adults.
They displayed messages on a white flag: With our feet in Mexico, our souls in Venezuela. “Venezuelans abroad are the voice of hope for Venezuela in the world.”
