La Salida
'The Exit') was a Venezuelan opposition political campaign launched on 23 January 2014 that was based on civil disobedience in an effort to bring an end to the government of President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro.[1][2] The initiative was promoted by Leopoldo López, Antonio Ledezma and María Corina Machado,[3] leaders of the Democratic Unity Roundtable.Maduro's opposition became energized after López turned himself in pursuant to an arrest warrant, shortly after the 2014 wave of protests started.[4] Rising violence, the murder of Mónica Spear and her husband,[5] and a troubled economic climate of high inflation and food shortages[6][7][1] led to protests mostly by students.[9] An hour later clashes occurred in the La Candelaria Parish; protesters skirmished with authorities, who responded with tear gas.
