Earlier in the day, protests erupted in Venezuela against the government of President Nicolas Maduro over economic woes and rampant inflation. As a result, the ongoing political crisis in the country has intensified. As a result, many people from the country began to apply for asylum in neighboring countries for fear of violence. This is in the name of the influx of refugees and political asylum seekers from Venezuela to various neighboring countries.
Several countries, including Russia, China and Iran, have condemned US intervention in Bolivia and Venezuela and called for a peaceful solution. On the other hand, the United Nations has always called on both sides to resolve the crisis through dialogue.
