Hundreds of thousands of people have marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, in rival demonstrations.
Opposition supporters, staging their largest rally for two years, called for President Nicolas Maduro's removal.
They blame him for Venezuela's economic crisis and accuse the electoral commission of delaying a referendum that could shorten his stay in power.
Mr Maduro, whose supporters also rallied in huge numbers, accused the opposition of trying to stage a coup.
It looks like the Impeachment of Brazil's president has lit a firecracker under the butts of the Venezuelan people. Are they finally starting to wake up that the problems in their country are caused by the government? We'll have to wait and see how this all pans out but hopefully the citizen can come together and put pressure on Mr. Maduro to resign and in a peaceful way I might add.

you obviously have no idea of what's going on in Venezuela
Care to enlighten us?
We are not "finally" starting to wake up, and the situation in Brazil has nothing to do with this. We have been fighting a very long and tiring fight with this authoritative government and are pushing for a referendum, the rally was called for putting some pressure on the electoral commission to accelerate the process for the referendum to happen. We have not just recently realized that the current crisis is the government's fault, most of us have known it for a while now...
And that's just to clear up the matter on the things you said in this post, there's a lot more going on...
Thanks for the info. Hopefully the people of Venezuela can take their government bank.
