Venezuelans have been making headlines due to various events, including a referendum on establishing a new state in the disputed Essequibo region, a territorial dispute with Guyana, and the suspension of the opposition's primary election process by Venezuela's high court. These actions have raised concerns about the government's commitment to fair electoral processes and democratic principles.
Venezuelans are predominantly Roman Catholic Spanish speakers, with a population that is a mix of Europeans, Africans, and Amerindians. The country has faced political and economic challenges in recent years, leading to a significant number of Venezuelans seeking asylum in other countries, including the US. The migration of Venezuelans has highlighted the dangers and difficulties faced by migrants as they navigate their way to seek refuge and a better life.
