    The 2017 Venezuelan protests or ‘’’Venezuelan spring’’‘ and ‘’’April rebellion’’’, were a series of protests occurring throughout Venezuela. Protests began in January 2017 after the arrest of multiple opposition leaders and the cancellation of dialogue between the opposition and Nicolás Maduro's government. As the tension continued, the 2017 Venezuelan constitutional crisis began in late March when the pro-Maduro Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) dissolved the opposition-led National Assembly, with the intensity of protests increasing greatly throughout Venezuela following the decision. As April arrived, the protests grew "into the most combative since a wave of unrest in 2014" resulting from the crisis with hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans protesting daily through the month and into May. After failing to prevent the July Constituent Assembly election, the opposition and protests largely lost momentum.

    The 2018–2020 Nicaraguan protests began on 18 April 2018 when demonstrators in several cities of Nicaragua began protests against the social security reforms decreed by President Daniel Ortega that increased taxes and decreased benefits. After five days of unrest in which nearly thirty people were killed, Ortega announced the cancellation of the reforms. However, the opposition has grown - through the 2013–2018 Nicaraguan protests - to denounce Ortega and demand his resignation, becoming one of the largest protests in his government's history and the deadliest civil conflict since the end of the Nicaraguan Revolution. On 29 September 2018, political demonstrations were declared illegal by President Ortega. More of 2,000 protests events were part of this significant mobilization.

  • Paco: The Poor Man's Drug in Buenos Aires - VICE News

    • News Shooter / Video Journalist
    • Field Producer

    In 2001, Argentina faced a devastating economic crisis that led to widespread unemployment and left more than 50 percent of the country living below the poverty line. Amid the devastation, a cheap and enormously addictive drug called paco — a variation of crack made from cocaine residue, baking soda, and sometimes even crushed glass and rat poison — started to take hold, especially among young people in urban barrios. Today, 13 years after the crisis, Argentina's economy is once again in trouble, and the widespread abuse of paco continues. VICE News traveled to Argentina and talked to paco manufactures and users, along with activists and government authorities, to find out why so little has been done to curb the problem, and whether a new wave of addicts is about to emerge.

  • La Colifata - VICE News

    • Field Producer
    • Senior Producer / Project Manager

    LT22 Radio La Colifata is an Argentine radio station with a modulated frequency, which broadcasts on the 100.3 MHz frequency in Buenos Aires. It owes its name to the lunfardo "colifato", "lovable madman" and has the peculiarity of being the first in the world to be conducted by patients in a psychiatric hospital. It was created on August 3, 1991, at the initiative of the still student and later psychologist Alfredo Olivera as part of the recovery therapy for patients at the Doctor José T. Borda Neuropsychiatric Hospital. The original intention of the program was to provide hospitalized and outpatients with a space of autonomy and provide them with tools to regain the initiative necessary for their reintegration upon leaving their hospitalization
