As the protests evolved, the ''Resistencia'' developed a system comprising three groups; escuderos (squires), atacantes (attackers) and defensores (defenders). Squires were tasked with repelling tear gas bombs and other projectiles, attackers would throw back gas canisters and defenders would tend to injured civilians and transport them away from areas of confrontation.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |date=2017-05-12 |title=La 'mujer maravilla' y el 'hacker guarimbero' contra Maduro |url=https://www.elmundo.es/cronica/2017/05/12/590dbc4f268e3e5c348b457b.html |access-date=2023-12-19 |website=[[El Mundo (Spain)|El Mundo]] |language=es}}</ref>
