We want to vote!: ucevistas demand to exercise their right to vote
Under the slogan “We want to vote!”, ucevistas outside the Faculty of Humanities and Education of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), in Caracas, demand their right to exercise suffrage to choose their representatives in student centers and the Federation of University Centers (FCU).
After 6:00 pm the closing of the electoral process on November 15 began in the tables where there were no voters. However, in this faculty a large group of ucevistas demanded to continue with the process because earlier unknown persons detonated three tear gas bombs and interrupted the process.
