[Venezuela] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 3, 2025, teachers and representatives from a high school in Apartaderos, Cojedes state, Venezuela, held a peaceful protest regarding the detention of two students allegedly connected to a March 27 mass intoxication incident affecting 106 people. The event appears localized with low severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Given the localized nature of the peaceful protest in a rural municipality and lack of broader coverage, supply chain implications would likely remain minimal unless the situation escalates significantly or spreads to major economic centers.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional protests or social unrest spreading beyond Cojedes state, particularly to areas with significant oil production or transportation infrastructure
• Track any developments in the underlying intoxication incident that could indicate broader public health or safety concerns affecting local operations
