39 people died during the recent weeks in Venezuela because of violent anti-government actions. Armed mobs patrol barricaded neighborhoods and kill people.
"The latest deaths bring the total death toll of more than a month of violence to 39, including 13 killed as a result of the actions of opposition supporters and five confirmed dead at the hands of state security forces.
During his speech Thursday, Maduro defended the work of security forces.
“The Bolivarian National Guard has put up a great, heroic fight. They have lost men, been killed by snipers … and attacked by criminal gangs,” he said."
