  Some points that must be mentioned; opposition leaders are struggling to monopolize the discomfort of Venezuelans and not the other way around. In the past the opposition politicians had full control of that monopoly and negotiated with the government for their own benefit (for example Capriles called fraud on the elections but then stepped back so that his party could win local elections); so people is apprehensive about them. Devaluation and inflation produced by the government (they control the central bank and the banks that pay the huge state´s payroll), insecurity, corruption, communist Cuban domination, new absurd reppresive laws every day, elections fraud, one-party domination of all public entities and now brutal reppresion against protests make venezuelans now feel under siege with no other way out than energic protests. The death toll of the events is higher. Two girls were killed this week; two neighbors were killed a few blocks from my home. Plus the cases of missing persons and torture.
