(MENAFN) Venezuelans will protest as the opposition hopes to force a change in the government of President Nicolas Maduro, who has watched over economic collapse and the erosion of democracy.
A wave of protests in Caracas on Monday, sparked by a brief military rebellion, has spread hope that a new leader of the congress, Juan Guaido, could unify the opposition and remove Maduro.
This month, the president started a second term under a stream of criticism that his election was illegitimate.
Guaido has said he would be willing to replace Maduro as temporary president, with the support of the military, to call free elections.
