- The situation came to a head in 2014, when students and other segments of society took to the streets to protest against the government (Chinea & Ore, 2014; Robertson, 2014)—a situation that government officials referred to as guarimbas (Vargas, 2015)—a slogan that is often used to refer to vandalism perpetrated by anarchist groups.[...] In the face of this public support, the government found it impossible to downplay the protests. Instead, the government opted to disfranchise those participating in the protests by criminalizing the students and presenting the protests in the official narratives as guarimbas (Venezolana de Televisión, 2014). According to Amnesty International (2014), dozens of students were incarcerated and hundreds were injured in the crackdown that followed.[...] the guarimbas were only making things worse. After a while, the protests themselves became, in the eyes of many people, the problem.
