2. The opposition parties have not specified a location in Caracas for this rally, but are calling on each party to gather 40 or more participants to hold the rally in a safe location at noon on the same day and to post about it on social media.
The ruling party has also said it will hold a march to celebrate two months since President Maduro's victory, but no specific location or time has been announced so far.
4. In the protest demonstrations held immediately after the election, some casualties occurred due to clashes between demonstrators and security authorities. Although no major clashes have been reported since then, we cannot deny the possibility that the situation could suddenly escalate even in peaceful rallies, leading to the crowd turning violent and clashing with security authorities.
5. In order to avoid being caught up in unforeseen circumstances, please obtain the latest information from the media, etc., and take the following safety measures to ensure your own safety.
(1) Stay away from areas where rallies or demonstrations are taking place. If you come across a rally or demonstration, leave the area immediately.
