What was a construction site between Locks 3 and 4 of the C&O Canal — also the scene of loud protests at the nearby Embassy of Venezuela, climaxing last month — has returned to the way it was.
The arrest of the protesters made way for the embassy to be handed over to the administration of opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who is now recognized by many governments as the country’s acting president.
A planned press conference this morning, Thursday, April 25, brought out several Secret Service vehicles to keep an eye on the lively but peaceful event.
The seeming deserted building posted signs that read “no Consular Service until further notice” and a note to postal workers and delivery services asks them to ring the door bell and wait for a response.
