Venezuelan opposition demands vaccination plan

Dozens of doctors and opposition party supporters marched this Saturday in Caracas, demanding a fair and quick distribution of coronavirus vaccines in Venezuela.

With the slogan "Vaccines now" written on the face masks, protesters marched towards the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) building demanding help from the international agency.

Ana Rosario Contreras, President of the Caracas Nurses Association, expressed the need for a vaccination plan prepared by experts so that the vaccine "does not go to the black market to profit the management of unscrupulous people."

The demonstration was openly supported by several opposition political parties, such as COPEI (Independent Electoral Political Organization Committee) and Justice First (Primero Justicia), which arrived with their groups of supporters to the march with party flags and signs supporting the vaccine.

Among the marchers was the opposition leader Juan Guaido, who said they will seek more vaccines with the help of their allies to expand the vaccination program.

"You also know what the blockage is: the arrogance of a dictatorship that was overwhelmed by the emergency," said Guaido at the demonstration.
