Venezuela FAU Rally: Videos and Photos

West Boca News went to the Venezuela rally today on Glades Road across from the FAU main entrance. We interviewed several people. Videos are below, with more photos at the bottom.

We estimate there were more than 200 people in the demonstration by the time we left around 5:30 pm. The event was still growing as people came after their work ended.
Here is a short video where a group of demonstrators shout and cheer.

Oriana Bottaro is a Spanish River High School student. She is a principal organizer of the rallies yesterday and today. Here she speaks to a reporter from CBS 4 in Miami. We did not see any media from Palm Beach or Broward County at the event.

Here we interview Ms. Bottaro:

Jorge Clavo is another student at Spanish River, who helped get the word out about the rally. Here’s a short interview:

Here is a longer interview with Jorge:

This is an interview with Alejandro Jimenez, an FAU student and the brother of Oriana Bottaro.

Theresa Brier, a staffer for Congressman Ted Deutch, appeared at the demonstration to read a statement from his office. She did not answer substantive questions. Here she speaks with us and CBS 4 Miami.

And here she reads the statement:

Cecilia Perez-Matos is the youngest daughter of former Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez. She is also an attorney and a resident of West Boca.
