Tensions and clashes with the police on the occasion of another day of protest in Venezuela

A group of riot police prevented the protesters from moving, but they remained near Victoria Avenue in Caracas.

Earlier, the Guaidó team complained that it was not allowed to install a platform in the area and detain three people who were transporting the structures, which was eventually confiscated.

On Twitter, Guaidó said the Maduro government was going to "take a surprise" because protesters would stay on the street.

"They intend to play at the expense, but they can no longer contain a city determined to end the usurpation, and we will now demonstrate in the streets."he added without giving details.

The demonstration took place after a power outage that left most Venezuelans without electricity for more than 30 hours and remains in at least half of Venezuelan territory.

Venezuela is going through a period of intense political tension since January, when Guaidó invoked certain articles of the Venezuelan Constitution to claim to have the power to declare himself interim president of the country, considering that Maduro "usurped" the presidency.

Maduro renewed his term last May during elections whose legitimacy had been questioned because they were held with the main opposition leader in prison and accompanied by a series of restrictions preventing anti-Chavists to form a front that brings them together.
