Vente Venezuela and union coalition march in Caracas two years after the July 28, 2024 election

Hundreds of Venezuelans marched in Caracas to demand elections and María Corina Machado's return, EFE reported. The union coalition protested outside the CNE; marchers called for an electoral timetable, the release of political prisoners and respect for the 2024 result, according to Latin America Reports, which cites 368 political prisoners counted by Foro Penal.

Machado did not appear on the street. In a video, according to Semana, she said the transition is coming and criticized Delcy Rodríguez's government's response to the double earthquake. At the union march, as broadcast by Efecto Cocuyo, speakers called for a new CNE and elections in 2026.
