Venezuela sees 509 protests in July, 192 political, per observatory

Venezuelan NGO Observatorio Venezolano de Conflictividad Social recorded 509 protests in July, with 192 driven by civil and political demands and 312 by economic, social, cultural, and environmental grievances. The high volume of political protests signals sustained opposition activity, though the source is a single NGO and figures are not independently verified. This reflects ongoing domestic instability that could affect regional dynamics and investor sentiment.
