The Generation of 1928 (Spanish: Generación del 28) was a group of Venezuelan students who led protests in Caracas in 1928 against the dictatorship of Juan Vicente Gómez.
Members and exile
Many politicians prominent in Venezuela's transition to democracy took part in the protests. They include
Gustavo Machado, and Antonia Palacios.[1]
After the 1928 protests a number of the Generation of 1928 went into exile. Political organizations in exile included the founding of
Partido Democrático Nacional, a forerunner of Democratic Action. The Communist Party of Venezuela, also founded in 1931, was initially led by Francisco José "Kotepa" Delgado and Juan Bautista Fuenmayor
