What was the “Caracazo” in Venezuela?
On February 27, 1989, a series of events known as the “Caracazo” occurred in Venezuela. This term refers to a series of protests, riots and looting that began in the capital Caracas and spread to other cities in the country. These events marked one of the most significant social and political crises in Venezuela's contemporary history.
The immediate trigger of the “Caracazo” was the announcement of a package of economic measures imposed by the government of then President Carlos Andrés Pérez in response to the conditions for the granting of financing to the country set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Among the most controversial measures were the liberalization of fuel prices, which led to an immediate and significant increase in transportation costs, and the liberalization of prices for basic goods and services, which led to widespread price increases.
