VOICED : Venezuela:protests against insecurity,inf

In Venezuela, protests that began as a student movement have expanded to include the middle class, driven by rampant insecurity and economic issues like inflation and food shortages. Triggered by an attempted rape in San Cristobal, the protests have spread to Caracas, with some drivers supporting the barricades despite traffic disruptions.
