Rival Protests Erupt in Caracas Ahead of Political Transition Talks
Supporters of opposition leader Maria Corina Machado and interim leader Delcy Rodriguez held large, opposing marches in Caracas on July 29, 2026.

Protesters demanded a clear electoral timetable and the release of over 300 political prisoners, while leftist groups claimed the interim government is negotiating under foreign pressure.
