Venezuelan Opposition Headquarters Ransacked Amid Crackdown
Masked assailants raided the headquarters of the Vente Venezuela opposition party, led by Maria Corina Machado, in Caracas. The attackers reportedly seized documents, vandalized the premises, and destroyed equipment amid a worsening political crackdown following disputed presidential elections. President Maduro has since vowed to detain more opponents, with official reports indicating over 2,000 arrests made in the last 48 hours. Opposition leaders have largely gone into hiding, citing immediate threats of detention and further state-led violence.
