WATCH: Violinist keeps playing through clashes in Venezuela
A protester plays Venezuela's national anthem on the violin in the streets of Caracas while riot cops fire tear gas to break up a protest in Venezuela

CARACAS, Venezuela – A protester plays Venezuela’s national anthem on the violin in the streets of Caracas while riot cops fire tear gas to break up a protest in Venezuela, during a demonstration against President Nicolas Maduro’s efforts to reform the constitution in a deadly political crisis.

Protesters are blaming Maduro for an economic crisis that has caused food shortages and say his constitutional move is a ploy to resist calls for early elections.

Clashes at protests have left 36 people dead and hundreds injured since the unrest erupted on April 1, according to authorities.

Private polls indicate Maduro has low approval ratings, with citizens increasingly frustrated about shortages. – Agence France-Presse / Rappler.com
