This Monday night, hooded criminals burned down and destroyed the Robert Serra Youth House, located in La Pastora, Caracas, where the young leader and Congressman of the United Socialist Party lived. He was assassinated on October 1, 2014 with his partner María Herrera.
The incident occurred after a group of insubordinate low rank members of the Bolivarian National Guard conducted a set of events this Monday at dawn, including robbery of arms, the kidnapping of two officers and the diffusion of videos in social networks calling to not recognize President Nicolás Maduro, trying to portray an unexisting uprising against the Venezuelan government.
Although this group of soldiers was arrested after encountering strong resistance in the Guaraira Repano Special Security Unit in Cotiza, during the day there were few localized “guarimbas” or violent demonstrations in the streets, commanded by small groups of hooded youths in various parts of Caracas.
They started right in Cotiza, from where the rebels were arrested. These violent outbreaks, carried out by very small groups of people, included the blocking of roads, the burning of garbage and public goods and the call to “carerolear”, and they were extended on Monday night to places such as Fuerzas Armadas Avenue, Los Mecedores , Pinto Salinas and other places west of Caracas.
One of the videos broadcast this Monday night by the violent demonstrators themselves shows the moment when hooded youth throw Molotov cocktails inside the Robert Serra Youth House, starting the fire.
