Recession: Angry Citizens Chase President Through the Streets Because of Hunger and Starvation

 
Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro
A mild drama ensued in Venezuela as angry citizens chased the
President through the streets of Caracas after a political event as
protesters call for him to step down.
Dailymail reports that Nicolas Maduro had attended a routine
political event on Friday and was met by hoards of angry
protesters banging pots and pans and shouting ‘we are hungry, we
are hungry.’



The report revealed that this is coming just days after desperate
Venezuelans broke into a zoo and killed a horse for meat as
people continue to starve. In a video circulated online, President
Maduro could be seen trying to calm the crowd by walking among
them but he is shouted at more by the protesters.
Venezuelan authorities briefly rounded up more than 30 people
on Margarita island for heckling President Maduro, activists said
on Saturday, in what appeared to be a rare public confrontation
with the unpopular leader.



‘The people loathe him and last night they made that very clear
with the pots-and-pans protest,’ said opposition leader Henrique
Capriles.
President Maduro’s opponents hope to push him out of office by
calling a referendum, which polls show he would lose.
