Venezuela Marks Independence Day Amid Earthquake Aftermath and Political Upheaval
Venezuela celebrated its Independence Day yesterday under the shadow of twin earthquakes and sweeping political changes following the U.S.-led ouster of Nicolás Maduro.
Venezuela observed its Independence Day yesterday, July 5, in the midst of twin earthquakes that have ravaged the country and a dramatic political transition. The natural disasters struck as the nation was already grappling with the fallout from the removal of President Nicolás Maduro, who was ousted by a U.S.-led effort. The twin earthquakes have caused significant damage, compounding the challenges facing the country. Meanwhile, the political landscape has shifted as new leadership emerges in the wake of Maduro's departure. The Independence Day celebrations were subdued, reflecting the dual crises.
