AI Summary:
The protests came the day after acting President Delcy Rodriguez went on national television to ask public and private sector workers for patience as her government works to improve the country’s economy. Many public sector workers survive on roughly $160 per month, while the average private sector employee earned about $237 last year. Venezuela’s minimum wage of 130 bolivars, or $0.27 a month, has not increased since 2022, putting it well below the United Nations’ measure of extreme poverty of $3 a day.
