(12 Sep 2019) Hundreds of Venezuelan government supporters marched through the streets of Caracas on Thursday in a show of support to President Nicolás Maduro.
Protesters waved flags, chanted slogans and held banners denouncing US President Donald Trump.
Maduro has been under mounting pressure from neighboring countries and the United States, which are among more than 50 nations that back opposition politician Juan Guaidó's bid to oust the socialist president.
They contend Maduro's re-election in 2018 was illegitimate.
The protest also comes after Guaidó urged soldiers to abandon Maduro and join the opposition's movement to start fresh with new presidential elections.
But Maduro has maintained support from the military, with the exception of several hundred troops.
He's also backed internationally by allies such as Cuba, China and Russia.
