Friday, September 2, 2016 Anti-Maduro protesters flood CaracasCrowding caracas. CARACAS — Venezuela’s opposition flooded the streets of Caracas with demonstrators yesterday to put pressure on President Nicolás Maduro in its biggest show of force in years. Protesters filled dozens of city blocks in what was dubbed the “takeover of Caracas” to pressure electoral authorities to allow a recall referendum against Maduro this year. “Today we’ve defeated a coup attempt that sought to fill Venezuela and Caracas with violence and death,” Maduro told his supporters without providing details about the accusations. “Today is the beginning of the definitive stage of our struggle,” Jesús Torrealba told supporters.
