"Justice bodies ruled in favor of the great majorities and act to protect their rights." The statement Venezuelan Minister of the Interior and Justice Miguel Rodríguez Torres came after the detention of opposition Mayors Daniel Ceballos and Enzo Scarano.

"Venezuelans need to understand that State institutions, not the Government in this case, act to protect the right of majorities instead of those of a small group attempting to use the right to protest as a pretext to cloud the lives of Venezuelans, and hit governance in the country," Torres told the press.

Further on, the minister stated violent spots remained in San Cristóbal, the capital city of Táchira state, and San Diego municipality in Valencia, the capital city of Carabobo state.
