Javier Farje, a Latin America expert from London, says violent groups of the opposition in Venezuela have taken over the whole protest movement, but the “moderate groups reject violence.”

Violent protesters want to “bring down the government” in Venezuela as the only objective they have, Farje told Press TV on Tuesday.

“They want to destroy all the symbols of Chavismo (Chavism),” including a hospital which has the name of the late president, Hugo Chavez.
