 I've seen some videos but don't fully understand what's going on, do you know?  
 They stole the election, the people don’t  want Maduro 
 Ahh, ok. That explains all the people in the street marching. Hope for everyone's safety.  
 Si se están en marcha para la libertadores  
 Personally i am not convinced yet. Might very well be the case, but also the videos i saw can be interpreted as an attempt of the opposition, paid by foreign countries, to invoke doubt about the legidimacy of the elections. 
 I probably shouldn't post because I know nothing.  I just wanted to say that we are in the "fog of war" phase and either story could be true.

Could be that Maduro is using military force to "win" an election where the people are mostly voting against him. I see evidence of him using force, and also of lots of people reporting that he is widely disliked.  The longer a leader serves, usually the more disliked he is, so it's quite possibly true.

Could also be that foreigners like the CIA are staging a coup against him, paying for rent-a-revolution mobs (people do anything for money) and spinning the media. They have been trying to oust him every election so far.

I don't trust anybody and luckily for me it doesn't matter. 
 Yes. Probably both cases are true. In fact, i am quite sure about cia involvement. 
 
 Very insightful to notice that it doesn't have to be just one or the other. 
 Ayer hubo elecciones presenciales. No gano Nicolás Maduro, hicieron fraude, el pueblo pide justicia  
 looks like blatant election fraud committed by incumbent.   
 Ahh, ok. Thanks.
