Photo: Claudia Drdul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Although the marchers were enthusiastic, there were people in the surrounding crowd that disagreed with what was being protested. As the #HandsOffVenezuela protest was setting up, there was already a group of Nicaraguans with a big blue banner that read \u201cSOS Nicaragua,\u201d who opposed the #HandsOffVenezuela crowd. SOS Nicaragua is a movement that began in April of 2018 when Nicaraguans (mainly students and young people) took to the streets to protest President Daniel Ortega\u2019s Social Security reforms. SOS Nicaragua views its struggle as one in solidarity with the people of Venezuela who are also anti-Maduro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">As the march made its way through the Mission, there were moments when people screamed at the protestors, expressing their disagreement with the demonstration (Maduro\u2019s government is highly controversial and Venezuelans everywhere are polarized in support and opposition to it).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The march, which was dubbed an \u201cemergency,\u201d is a reaction to events last week, where Juan Guaid\u00f3, president of the National Assembly (Venezuela\u2019s legislative branch), proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela. Guaid\u00f3, a member of the centrist political party Popular Will, cited the articles 233, 333, and 350 of the Venezuelan Constitution to justify his claim to the presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This came after the United States, the Organization of American States, and the 14 countries of the Lima Group proclaimed that Venezuela\u2019s elections on May 20, 2018, which saw Maduro re-elected to another term as president, were in fact unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The Jan. 25 march was centered specifically on the topic of American imperialism, with protesters arguing that the election of Maduro was democratic, and calling the actions of Guaid\u00f3 a coup d\u2019etat, secretly orchestrated by the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI am here supporting so there is a democratic process,\u201d said Carolina Morales, a Venezuelan who has been residing in the U.S. for 18 years who attended the protest. \u201cIf the people want to complain, they have to wait until the next election.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There were others who opposed Maduro and expressed their discontent with the elections. Edgar Mota, who left Venezuela in 2007 after protesting the oil industry under the government of Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, said that many of those who oppose Maduro didn\u2019t vote so as to not legitimize the elections, which they saw as fraudulent, and also because various opposition leaders were jailed, barred or exiled, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">It is true that the American government has expressed interest in Maduro being deposed, as the Trump administration has said, but opinions in America are as divided as those in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39824\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Venezuela-2-WEB.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-39824\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Venezuela-2-WEB.jpg?resize=450%2C675&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Venezuela-2-WEB.jpg?w=476&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 476w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Venezuela-2-WEB.jpg?resize=167%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 167w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Venezuela-2-WEB.jpg?resize=320%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gloria La Riva, of Answer Coalition, speaks during an emergency rally on Jan. 25, 2019 at 24th St. BART Plaza to protest what many say is a U.S. coup to overthrow Venezuela\u2019s democratically elected president Nicolas Maduro and undermine Venezuela&#8217;s sovereignty. Photo: Claudia Drdul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">People like La Riva, who was born in New Mexico and is an avid follower of Hugo Chavez, feel that the opposition in Venezuela is being manipulated by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThey are being used, they are puppets,\u201d she said. \u201cThe U.S. doesn\u2019t really care about them. But they [the opposition leaders] are willing because they are rich and they identify with imperialism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This contrasts with how some Venezuelans feel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThe intervention that Venezuela has right now is Cuban,\u201d Mota said. \u201cAnd if there is some kind of intervention by the United States and South American countries, it will only be to give legitimate power to those who should have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Another reason for the demonstration on Mission Street is the belief that the media is not truly informing the public. Morales said that \u201cmuch of news that gets here is just exaggerated,\u201d but clarified that \u201cit is true that there is an economic crisis. The people have it hard, really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Carlos Garcia, a political asylee originally from the city of San Cristobal in the Venezuelan state of T\u00e1chira, explained the difficulty Venezuelans face. \u201cIt\u2019s very hard because the local currency is worthless and you can buy practically nothing, however even if the people had it [money], there would be nothing to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">La Riva said she doesn\u2019t consider Maduro to be a dictator, that \u201cVenezuela has had great progress since 2001,\u201d that the opposition \u201chas to step aside,\u201d and that the government has helped the people by constructing two and a half million houses and providing food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Garcia however, argues that Maduro is illegitimate. \u201cSince Jan. 23, there is a new president, they don\u2019t want to accept it,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cHe [Maduro] is a dictator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Mota agrees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThere are no public services, either there is no water or it comes dirty and the electricity goes every moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The protesters who favor Maduro are against what they call \u201cyankee imperialism,\u201d and the opposition protested against the current intervention of Cuba in Venezuela. Cuba provides Venezuela with medical, military and intelligence aid in exchange for cheap oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The marchers argue that the American press is not reporting the truth and\u00a0is upholding capitalism, while Venezuelans condemn Maduro\u2019s government for suppressing the media and incarcerating the opposition. But if there\u2019s common ground between both sides, it\u2019s that the Venezuelan people are going through hardship, that there is desperation that has grown for years, and that there is a need\u00a0for action from both the government and military to lift up Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The streets appeared normal at the 24th Street BART Plaza just
