Officers with the Caracas Metropolitan Police (PM) Tuesday stopped university students demonstrating against the proposed changes to the Constitution from continuing their march to the headquarters of the National Assembly.

When students reached San Francisco corner, on Universidad Avenue, downtown Caracas, they were forced to stop their march. Students tried to negotiate with police officers, claiming authorities granted them permission to stage their demonstration in the area.

Student leader Stalin González voiced disagreement with the police blockade. He wondered why pro-government students were allowed to gather at El Chorro corner, which is located on the way to the National Assembly.
 
He stressed the Libertador Municipality authorized their march to get to the Sociedad corner.

González and fellow student leader Yon Goicoechea tried to talk to the police officers.

Anti-riot taskforces with the Metropolitan Police and the National Guard are located at the Sociedad corner.
