Venezuelans around the world react to Maduro's capture in a mix of celebrations and condemnations.
In response to the US military attack on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, Venezuelans across the globe took to the streets to express their reactions. While some celebrated the Trump administration's intervention, others condemned what they saw as an act of war and a continuation of US military actions in Latin America.
In Chile, dozens of Venezuelans gathered in the capital city, celebrating the capture of Maduro and calling for his release. In contrast, in Argentina, left-wing organizations held protests outside the US embassy, condemning the bombing on Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez demanded that the US release Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Meanwhile, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez denounced the "criminal attack" by the US on Venezuela and called for urgent condemnation from the international community.
In Spain, many Venezuelans who have migrated to Europe in recent years gathered in Rome to celebrate the capture of Maduro. However, some demonstrators showed support for the Venezuelan president, waving flags and chanting slogans against the US.
In Greece and Germany, which also have significant communities of asylum seekers from Venezuela, protesters spoke out against the US military action. In Berlin, a demonstration called for "Yankees out of Latin America" as Venezuelans and sympathizers gathered to express their opposition to the US intervention.
The reactions to the capture of Maduro varied widely across Latin America, reflecting different political views and relationships between countries in the region. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to this major development in Venezuela's crisis.

so like I was following this news and I gotta say, it's crazy how divided people are on social media... some are celebrating Maduro's capture like it's a good thing 
but others are super against it, saying it's an act of war 
what's wild is that even in countries with huge Venezuelan communities, opinions are still split 50/50
Maduro has been super unpopular back home, but now he's "captured" and they're not happy about it 
meanwhile, some folks in Latin America are still like "peace out, Yankees" 
I mean I feel bad for him as a person but like he's been super corrupt and hurt his country for years, you know? 
my friend's cousin is from Caracas and she said it's all just one big mess there right now, people are struggling to get food and medicine and stuff. 
but like the way Cuba reacted was super concerning 
what if the US is trying to send a message? my ex was in Venezuela last year and they're all like "gracias a Dios" (thank god) when the US attacked 
I don't know wut's gonna happen next 
I mean, what's next, US troops everywhere in Latin America? 
It's like, super complicated 
Not me, that's for sure 
. We need peace and stability in Venezuela, not more chaos 
! 
i think we should be focusin on findin a peaceful solution to venezuela's crisis instead of celebratin or condemnin each other 
what do u think, is it time for the intl community to step in and help find a way forward? 
honestly though i think its a good thing that something is being done about the situation in venezuela, but at the same time i feel bad for maduro and his wife who are being held captive... it would be nice if they could get some medical attention or something ASAP
