The 2017 Venezuelan protests were a series of protests occurring throughout Venezuela. Protests began in January 2017 after the arrest of multiple opposition leaders and the cancellation of dialogue between the opposition and Nicolás Maduro's government.

As the tension continued, the 2017 Venezuelan constitutional crisis began in late March when the pro-government Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) dissolved the opposition-led National Assembly, with the intensity of protests increasing greatly throughout Venezuela following the decision.[14][15][16] As April arrived, the protests grew "into the most combative since a wave of unrest in 2014" resulting from the crisis[17] with hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans protesting daily through the month and into May.[18] After failing to prevent the July Constituent Assembly election, the opposition and protests largely lost momentum.
