A group of about 50 people gathered on Broadway Bridge in Idaho Falls to protest the actions of Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro. The demonstration was organized by local Venezuelans who have migrated to Idaho due to the current government’s actions. They were joined by others to show solidarity with Venezuelans protesting the disputed election results. Protesters are calling for Maduro to accept the results of the July election, which saw him claim victory over Edmundo González, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. The opposition coalition gathered more than 80% of voter tally sheets. Demonstrators shared stories of persecution and violence in Venezuela, prompting many to flee to seek a peaceful and free life elsewhere. Residents of Idaho Falls, including those from Mexico and city council members, also joined in support of free elections and democratic rights for all people. The demonstration was described as “beautiful” and a symbol of hope for Venezuela’s future. This event is just one example of the global impact of political unrest and the fight for freedom and democracy.
