The University of Oriente Venezuela is one of the most important universities of Venezuela, located in Eastern Venezuela.
The university has five campuses that are located in the states of Sucre, Anzoátegui, Monagas, Bolívar, and Nueva Esparta.
There is a very large campus in Barcelona which neighbors the big city of Puerto La Cruz, one of Venezuelas most beautiful tourist attractions.
Since May 1, 2019, the rectory of the university at Sucre has been under siege by Chavistas demanding the resignation of the rector, Milena Bravo, and the university management. Students at the university as represented by Darwin Rangel wish to retake the rectory peacefully, and are supported by representatives at other Venezuelan universities, with figures like Rafaela Requesens visiting the campus. The occupation of the rectory led to civil protests at universities and schools in order to demand better treatment and freedoms.
