Screen grabs of Venezuelan nationals demonstrating outside the T&T Embassy in Washington, USA, last week.
A group of Venezuelans who protested outside Trinidad and Tobago’s Embassy in Washington last Friday have noted “accidents” happening between T&T and Venezuela – but they said their protest was really to get T&T’s Government to stop “supporting” the Nicolas Maduro administration.
The Washington protest last week was the latest against T&T. Three others were staged last week outside of T&T’s Embassy in Caracas, where some Venezuelans in those groups blamed T&T for the recent drowning of about 29 Venezuelans. Their boat capsized seven miles off the Venezuelan coastal town of Guiria as they were heading to this country illegally. The vessel left Venezuela on December 6. Venezuelan investigations were subsequently launched regarding a trafficking ring.
