Two months on, the upheaval in Venezuela is still smouldering
Calm had not quite returned to Venezuela, after more than a month of riotous confrontations, when a delegation of foreign affairs ministers from Union of South American Nations (Unasur) turned up on 25 March in an ostensible attempt to broker a dialogue between government and opposition. By then at least 30 deaths were being attributed to the unrest, more than 300 people had been injured and more than 100 had been arrested and charged with criminal offences. The government says it is still facing an attempted ‘soft coup’ orchestrated from abroad, while the more militant wing of the opposition says it will continue to exercise its right to protest on the streets until the government steps down.
