Non si vede ancora una fine per la crisi venezuelana; ma le foto scattate dai fotografi rivelano anche il legame – che ai nostri occhi può forse apparire discutibile, o quantomeno bizzarro – tra la religiosità del popolo di Caracas e le proteste. Nelle immagini si vedono ad esempio scudi decorati con immagini sacre; o un dimostrante che, corona del Rosario alla mano, prega sopra la bandiera venezuelana.

Qualcun altro invece si affida a protezioni da baseball o mazze da golf; mentre la polizia non esita a rispondere agli attacchi, e i morti si conterebbero ormai a decine.
