VENEZUELANS hit the streets on Saturday in a series of massive demonstrations to safeguard the country’s Bolivarian revolution.

The marches, called by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela and labelled as the Great National March for Peace, came as the US-backed opposition continued to cast doubt on the victory of Nicolas Maduro in the presidential election.

Thousands rallied in the capital Caracas to the presidential Miraflores Palace, to give their support to President Maduro and show their support for the outcome of the poll, which took place on July 28.
