Venezuelan National Police clash with opposition activists during protests against the government of President Nicolás Maduro on April 6 in Caracas. What began as a peaceful demonstration turned violent in the afternoon, as soldiers used tear gas and water hoses to disperse crowds and protesters hurled rocks. Maria Auxiliadora Soler, an 80-year-old protester, said this has been a terrible year as she searches for blood-pressure medicine. I count them every day, and it feels like counting the days I have left to live,” she said. “I hope this time people will actually stay in the streets until we see a real change,” he said.
