Protesters are arriving at the Plaza de Bolívar
Authorities report that the vast majority of women who today have mobilized peacefully are already entering the Plaza de Bolívar.
Claudia López rejects vandalism
“This is not protest or vindication or feminism. Unacceptable that a day dedicated to exalting the struggles and achievements of women in history are taken advantage of by a small group of violent women who believe that protesting is destroying“he wrote on his Twitter account.
