About a mile from the White House, a group of American activists are sleeping on couches and inflatable mattresses inside the Venezuelan Embassy.
And they won't leave until embattled President Nicolas Maduro's diplomats return. About two weeks ago, members from the anti-war group Code Pink arrived at the four-story brick building in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood. Most were only carrying a few clothes, blankets and their toothbrushes. "We are not there for a party," said Ariel Gold, the group's national co-director."We are there to protect the building.
— CODEPINK May 1, 2019 Some Venezuelans want them outVenezuelans in the United States have descended on the embassy over the past few days to protest against the American activists with loud bullhorns, and they've formed human chains to block the building's entrances. As many of her relatives and friends took to the streets this week in Venezuela, Cynthia Cortes headed to her country's embassy in Washington to answer Guaido's call to protest.
