Venezuela is suffering a severe food crisis, despite being rich in resources. Capriles marched almost every day for two months to protest the regime’s repressive tactics. The protests have become increasingly aggressive.
VICE News interviewed Capriles hours after the attack. “We are fighting in the streets. Fighting for democracy. Fighting for a change,” he said.
