Approximately 100 supporters of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro demonstrated in Caracas’s Simon Bolivar Square on Friday. The protestors burned both American and Israeli flags while chanting anti-US slogans. These slogans echo familiar rhetoric frequently used by Maduro and common in Venezuela since his rise to power. An AFP photographer documented the event, witnessing the flag burning and the vocal opposition to the United States. The protest highlights ongoing anti-US sentiment within segments of the Venezuelan population. This demonstration is the latest in a series of expressions of discontent directed towards American foreign policy and allies. The act is symbolic of the strained relationship between Venezuela and both the US and Israel.
