Guatemala City, June 15 (RHC-teleSUR)-- Hundreds of Indigenous Guatemalan campesinos marched to the Venezuelan embassy in the capital city of Guatemala, holding Venezuelan flags and showing their support and solidarity with the Bolivarian government of Nicolás Maduro in the face of violent opposition protests that have left more than 70 dead in the nation.

"We want to tell Venezuela that it is not alone. They are attacking Venezuela for their struggle because the government is working for the good of the people," said Thelma Cabrera, who participated in the solidarity action.

The rally was organized by the members of the Committee of Compesino Development, CODECA, and the Solidarity Coordinator with Venezuela. Demonstrators carried a banner with the message: "We stand in solidarity with the government and people of Venezuela."
