In the days since the seizure of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuelans have been coming to terms with an uncertain future as a new reality begins to set in.
Marcelo, a student based in Caracas, is among those welcoming Maduro's seizure, although he is careful not to celebrate publicly.
"There are still allies of Maduro that are in power, so there are a few reasons why we don't celebrate outside of our houses," he told the BBC World Service. "But I can assure you that the majority of the people of Venezuela are very happy for what happened."
He is not the only one exercising caution. The BBC has been asking people how they feel about recent events, and what might happen next. Many of those opposed to Maduro's government asked to remain anonymous, fearing for their safety.
But there are also those who support him. Rosa Contreras says she felt "humiliated" by the United States.
