Venezuela's Chavistas vow to continue fighting

People showed different images of late President Hugo Chavez during last week's rally, which was dubbed “the first session of the street’s Assembly.”

Hundreds of people rallied near the presidential palace of Miraflores to show President Maduro their support on Tuesday, Dec. 8, 2015 in Caracas, Venezuela.

“Our homeland won't be negotiated, sold or changed,” read one of the banners made by Chavistas during a rally on Tuesday Dec. 8, 2015 in Caracas, Venezuela.

“I don’t fear the opposition attacking me. I fear the fake Chavista hugging me,” read this sign held by a government supporter, alluding to former Chavistas who voted for the opposition.
