CARACAS, VENEZUELA - JULY 27, 2017:  Neighbors take a break from blocking the street,  to pay tribute to Neomar Lander, who was killed in this spot during an anti-government protest.   Neighbors blocked their streets, in support of a national strike, called by the political opposition to last for  48 hours, all day July 26th and 27th. They called for their supporters to close businesses, not go to work, and instead create barricades to block off their streets.  Opposition controlled areas of the country were completely shut down.  The strike was called as part of the opposition&rsquo;s civil resistance movement - that began on April 1st, to protest against the Socialist government&rsquo;s attempt to elect a new constituent assembly that will have the power to re-write the constitution, and will threaten democracy.
