Timeline of the 2017 Venezuelan protests

The 2017 Venezuelan protests began in late January following the abandonment of Vatican-backed dialogue between the Bolivarian government and the opposition.

The series of protests originally began in February 2014 when hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans protested due to high levels of criminal violence, inflation, and chronic scarcity of basic goods because of policies created by the Venezuelan government[1][2][3][4][5] though the size of protests had decreased since 2014.

Following the 2017 Venezuelan constitutional crisis, protests began to increase greatly throughout Venezuela.

[6][7][8] The opposition protests demanded immediate presidential elections to be held following controversy surrounding the prohibition to recall President Nicolás Maduro.
