Jeison Gabriel España, an 18-year-old Venezuelan, was shot and killed a day after casting his first vote in the presidential election. The election, marred by claims of victory from the authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro, led to violent demonstrations and a crackdown on dissent. The country is now in mourning, with hopes for a democratic Venezuela fading. Censorship and arrests of citizens and activists have increased, while the government denies the legitimacy of the deaths. The international community has condemned the election, and efforts to negotiate with Maduro are underway. The unrest has resulted in the deaths of young individuals, including IsaÃas Fuenmayor, a 15-year-old who was not involved in the protests. The situation remains uncertain, with little hope for immediate change.
