Venezuela's opposition coalition is still protesting after last month's disputed election, demanding the victory of its favored presidential candidate. Leaders and supporters of the opposition alliance protested on the streets in various cities across the country on Saturday. On July 28, the presidential election was held in Venezuela. The Election Commission of the country declared President Nicolas Maduro the winner after receiving 52 percent of the votes. He became president for the third consecutive term for another six years.
Rejecting the results, the coalition of opposition parties said the vote was rigged. Their supported candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, "received 67 percent of the vote."
Opposition parties have been protesting since the results of the polls were announced.
Maduro has adopted a strategy to suppress the protesters with a heavy hand. He deployed police and army to quell the protests.
At least 2,400 protesters have been arrested since July 29. At least 23 people were killed.

In addition to Caracas, hundreds of protesters waved national flags in the cities of Valencia, San Cristóbal and Berquicimoto.
