In venezuela. I do not think it is fair, what has happened the past few months in a country, that you have had the majority of venezuelans protesting, demanding change, demanding free and fair elections, and they have been received by the National Guard and police with tear gas, with rubber bullets, and sometimes with regular bullets, would shotguns. More than 120 people have been killed. And according to the attorney general, she has said that more than 90 of those who have been killed our opposition protesters.
