Liberation Day: Venezuelans Worldwide Erupt in Celebration After U.S. Forces Capture Dictator Maduro While Left-Wing Democrats Rage
Venezuelans both inside and outside their homeland erupted in celebrations this weekend following the capture of long-time dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.
From South Florida to Chile to Madrid, Venezuelans and all from all around the world took to the streets to rejoice after news broke that Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured and flown out of Venezuela early Saturday by U.S. forces following coordinated strikes.
Celebrants waved Venezuelan and American flags, banged pots and pans, and popped champagne bottles in a spontaneous display of liberation, according to the New York Post.

More from the New York Post:
In the South Florida city of Doral — home to the largest Venezuelan community in the US – hundreds have been celebrating in the street since 4 a.m.
The celebrants cried, danced to Venezuelan music and some popped champagne bottles.

“I’m very excited…We are celebrating. Thanks to President Trump and the U.S. military for this perfect operation,” said one man, who expressed hope for the future of Venezuela.
A third simply said he had “no words” for the monumental moment.
Similar celebrations were taking place in Madrid, Spain as well as in Santiago, Chile — where revelers raised American flags alongside Venezuelan ones.
“We are free. We are all happy that the dictatorship has fallen and that we have a free country,” said Khaty Yanez, a Venezuelan woman who has spent the last seven years in Chile, told Reuters.
