Where does this go

@SandyGeorgia and Jamez42: This part of the article was under pro-Maduro demonstrations, but it is from January and it is not really about the rallies:

Journalist Javier Mayorca reported that the government prepared a campaign to "force police and military officers to sign the open letter" on 10 January.^[1] According to PROVEA, a group of police officers of the Mariño municipality of the Nueva Esparta state that refused to sign the document were arrested.^[2] Journalist Nitu Pérez Osuna [es] reported complaints that "hundreds" of employees of the public television channel TVes were fired for refusing to sign the letter.^[3]^{[better source needed]} On 17 February, two National Guardsmen were detained for refusing to sign the book "Hands Off Venezuela" and expressing their agreement with the entrance of humanitarian aid.^[4]

Corruption in Venezuela? That allows us to find the text if we need it for balancing entries about the letter. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:30, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't really followed the organization of that article, so not sure ... up to you :) :) I am just glad you are saving it somewhere, because we have to be more aware of the building blocks. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:39, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge sections

With the elimination of the unrelated, the undue weight, and the badly sourced information, the rival protests section is smaller. It can be expanded, but I propose anyway that we merge protest and counterprotests in the same timeline/section. --MaoGo (talk) 12:04, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should this be added?

Young man loses his sight after a burst of rubbet bullets Venezuelan teen blinded by police rubber bullets at protest (Reuters). It is on many news sites. --MaoGo (talk) 13:34, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Completely, Rufo Chacón's injuries have received near as much coverage as Rafael Arévalo's death. ~~If I'm not mistaken~~ It was discussed in the National Assembly, the governor condemned directly the incident and the moment in the week is particularly important, among other reasons. --Jamez42 (talk) 15:53, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
