‘I’m scared, but I’ll carry on’: Venezuelans caught between hope and fear
Al Jazeera
Supporters of Venezuela’s opposition say that crackdowns on election protests have sparked fear and further resistance.
Caracas, Venezuela – As dark clouds hung above an unusually empty street in the neighbourhood of Petare, Eglle Camacho started to hear a dull, rhythmic clanging.
The noise soon crescendoed. From their windows and doorways, people stood armed with kitchen utensils, banging spoons against pans. They started to spill onto the street. Camacho decided to join them.
Their impromptu march cascaded towards the centre of Venezuela’s capital of Caracas on Monday, scooping up thousands of people on foot and motorbikes.
What brought them all together was outrage over what they saw as fraudulent election results announced in favour of President Nicolas Maduro.
Camacho took lots of photos that day – the smiles, the flags and even the violence – but she told Al Jazeera she has since deleted all of them. She fears what Maduro’s government may do to the protesters who support the opposition’s claims to victory.
