The demonstrators walked a kilometer to the headquarters of the National Electoral Council (CNE), in the central-eastern part of Caracas.

”That date is not going to be a gift, no matter how much the dictatorship speaks with pride (of) that in 2024 or before. We know that this is a dictatorship, we know that nothing is going to be granted (…) We have to go out to the streets to fight for that date”said Guaido to the antichavistas before starting the tour.

He assured that the march is the beginning of the “fight in the streets” to demand the date of the electoral process in which the ruler of Venezuela will be elected for the period 2025-2031.

”We are going to the streets now, from now on, to the streets now. In a peaceful way (…) to demand the election date, the date to release Venezuela”, stressed.
