Venezuela leader vows ‘no social unrest here’ after quakes

CARACAS: Venezuela’s interim president said Sunday the country would not descend into social unrest after the twin earthquakes which killed nearly 3,000 and left thousands more missing. One of Latin America’s worst earthquake disasters, the June 24 shocks collapsed scores of buildings, leaving thousands homeless, especially in the coastal La Guaira area north of the capital Caracas. “There will be no social unrest here, what we have here is deep social solidarity,” Delcy Rodriguez said during a military ceremony marking the country’s independence day.
