I have alot of friends in Venezuela and the true is that the protesters have never stop protesting since all of this started and the government has been controlling the media, trying to stop them from doing their jobs, even international reporters have been kick out of the country, and some sites have been blocked from the internet, the situation of Venezuela is far worse of what we see on the media, according of what my friends told me over the Internet.
