The opposition is planning large street protests in the lead-up to election day. The Canadian Embassy, which provides consular support to Australians, has closed its office as its location is close to protest areas. It has moved to an appointment only service, limiting assistance in an emergency. Avianca Airlines announced the suspension of flights to and from Venezuela as of 16 August 2017.
