The idea today was to block as many streets as possible with what is called "barricadas" and "guarimbas" so people would not be able to go to work or to have a normal day. This was accomplished to some extent since in the streets you could hear people saying that they couldn't make it work, some had to go back for different reasons and also the blockage only allowed police, firefighter, and ambulances to pass through. I couldn't make it to work because of the blockage and the fear that it would only get worst and more difficult to get home later on.
Here are some pictures of what happened only around the place where I'm living! Which is a secure and calm zone, so imagine how the rest of the country was. I hope these photos can illustrate to you a little bit more of the daily situation here, as these barricadas are now part of the daily life here in different areas of the Capital District and other states of Venezuela.
P.S. all the photos were taken with my phone.
