Maduro calls for mobilization to support former Bolivian President Morales on November 16; transportation disruptions expected

Warning

Event

President Nicolas Maduro has called for a global mobilization on Saturday, November 16, in support of former Bolivian President Morales, who resigned from his post on Sunday, November 10, following weeks of protest due to election irregularities.

Government supporters are therefore expected to march and rally across Venezuela, particularly in the capital Caracas, though precise details on when and where these events would take place were not immediately available. A heightened security presence and transportation disruptions are expected at all demonstrations. 

Advice

Individuals in Venezuela, and Caracas in particular, are advised to monitor the situation, avoid any public demonstrations as a precaution, adhere to instructions issued by local authorities, and anticipate a heightened security presence and transportation disruptions.
