The president of the Venezuelan Civil Association in Ecuador, Daniel Regalado, told Efe that Guaidó is “making a call for freedom” and “uniting forces peacefully” and in concordance “with the Constitution of Venezuela”. Regalado is one of the Venezuelans who participated peacefully in the sit-in where, however, there were also crossings of words among the protesters, considering that among them were people who had previously supported Hugo Chávez.
«We can not keep disunited at this moment. Unity is strength at this time. Out of anarchy, “shouted an elderly Venezuelan with a cap in yellow, blue and red, and the stars of the Venezuela’s flag. While some shouted that they do not tolerate “chavistas disguised”, another remembered that it is “the moment of Venezuela, of unity”, and one more welcomed “the one who was a Chavista and is repentant (…) because to err is human and rectify , of wise men ».
Venezuelan Adelaida Morales, who lives in Ecuador three years ago, called for unity: “If it was a Chavista, it does not matter, the important thing is that we understand that this process has already passed and it has to die, that it is a failed government, It is an unsuccessful ideology, “he said. Morales joined the demonstrators because “today reborn hope” because Guaidó “is doing what he has to do step by step.”
“We come here to support all our Venezuelan brothers who are now going through so many needs, in a critical situation. We do not leave our country to disturb the peace, we left to survive, “he told Efe, while behind her, another Venezuelan woman held a sign:” Freedom is achieved with the effort of all ».
Jaiker Meza, a doctor from the state of Lara, northwest Venezuela, who lives two years ago in Ecuador, today missed his job to demonstrate in favor of freedom and to ask the Armed Forces of his country to understand that “they must be at side of the people who are suffering, begging for a mouthful of food, medicine ».
