Hundreds gathered in London on Monday to protest the United States’ actions in Venezuela and the reported arrest of President Nicolas Maduro. Demonstrators converged near 10 Downing Street, the official residence and workplace of the British Prime Minister, expressing solidarity with Venezuela and other Latin American nations allegedly targeted by US President Donald Trump.
Protesters chanted slogans in support of Venezuela and against the United States and President Trump. The demonstration highlighted growing international concern over recent developments in the region.
Lindsay German, head of the Stop the War Coalition, addressed the crowd, stating that the events in Venezuela represent a blatant violation of international law. German referenced past US interventions in Latin American countries, asserting that Washington operates with impunity in the region. She also criticized the silence of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other Western leaders regarding Trump’s actions.
Reports indicate that on Saturday, President Trump announced a large-scale operation against Venezuela, resulting in the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. They were allegedly taken into custody and transported to the United States.
Trump reportedly stated that the United States would oversee affairs in Venezuela until a safe, suitable, and reasonable transition of power is achieved. The US Department of Justice has reportedly released a document outlining charges against Maduro, including allegations of leading a corrupt and illegitimate government for years and collaborating with major drug traffickers and terrorists.
The situation remains fluid, and DZWatch will continue to provide updates as they become available. Stay tuned for further developments.
