Political and social organizations in the Dominican Republic held demonstrations to express solidarity with Venezuela and to reject U.S. aggression. Protesters demanded the return of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who they denounced was kidnapped along with First Lady Cilia Flores as part of a destabilization strategy. Participants also condemned foreign military intervention in the internal affairs of nations, stressing that the rhetoric of fighting drug trafficking conceals geopolitical interests tied to the control of natural resources. Despite heavy rain, the mobilization unfolded peacefully, reaffirming the unity and solidarity between peoples.
