Venezuela: Countries Hosting Fugitives Should Hand Them Over

The diplomat assured that the public ministry and the Venezuelan judiciary "will take the actions that have to be taken according to their good judgment." The Venezuelan Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, urged on Thursday the countries that host "fugitives from Venezuelan justice" should "rectify" and "deliver them to justice" in his country. In an interview with the national radio station, Unión Radio, Arreaza said that the position of the European Union regarding Venezuela is contradictory, since "they ratify their support and recognition for the interim president, Juan Guaidó, and at the same time reject any type of violent international or foreign incursion against Venezuela."

The Juan Ramon Lugo Afro-Revolutionary Movement condemns the systematic racial extermination taking place against the African-American population in the United States.

Iran smashes US blockade on Venezuela with fuel delivery

The axis of resistance is building its network of practical solidarity in the teeth of imperialist opposition. Proletarian writers The revolutionary spirit of both the Iranian and Venezuelan peoples stands as a beacon of hope for the oppressed masses of the whole world, and earns the unbounded respect and support of all anti-imperialists. In a stunning display of solidarity and courage, Iran has successfully dispatched five Iranian-flagged tankers loaded with petrol to Venezuela, asserting the legal right of the two countries to trade with whomever they wish and breaking the criminal blockade imposed by US imperialism. From the moment the tankers set out in mid-May, Iran made no secret of their intended destination, openly challenging the supposed rig...

Canadian policy on Venezuela, Haiti reveals hypocrisy that media ignores

By Yves Engler If the dominant media was serious about holding the Canadian government to account for its foreign policy decisions, there would be numerous stories pointing out the hypocrisy of Ottawa’s response to recent political developments in Haiti and Venezuela. Instead silence, or worse, cheer-leading. Venezuela is a deeply divided society. Maybe a quarter of Venezuelans want the president removed by (almost) any means. A similar proportion backs Nicolas Maduro. A larger share of the population oscillates between these two poles, though they generally prefer the president to opposition forces that support economic sanctions and a possible invasion. There are many legitimate criticisms of Maduro, including questions about his electoral bonafides after a presidential ...

Using the covid crisis: British and US military massing off Venezuelan coast

Reckless and desperate attempts are being made by US imperialism to encircle and crush Venezuelan socialism. Party statement On 15 April, a joint statement between the Venezuela’s trade unions, its National Front for the Liberation of the Working Class (FNLCT) and Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CUTV, the communist-aligned trade union movement) was published alerting the world to the fact that US and European Union forces are poised to attack the homeland of the Bolivarian revolution, Venezuela. The statement called upon “the working class and the peoples of the world, international class-based trade unionism and all the revolutionary, anti-imperialist, popular, democratic and progressive forces of all countries” to oppose “the dangerous es...

British explanations on the role of the Crown in Venezuela

by Jonathan Allen VOLTAIRE NETWORK Irefer to the statement made by the Permanent Representative of the Venezuelan Mission to the United Nations, in the meeting of members of the Security Council to discuss the situation in Venezuela on 20 May 2020. I further refer to the letter sent from the same on 26 May 2020 to your Excellency as current President of the Security Council. The claim that the United Kingdom, through its Venezuelan Reconstruction Unit or otherwise, had prior knowledge of the 3 May 2020 incident in which defector Venezuelan military representatives and independent security contractors entered Venezuela by speedboat is absolutely untrue. The Venezuela Reconstruction Unit in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office was established in 2019 to coordinate the approach of...

UE declaration on the latest developments in Venezuela

by Josep Borrell VOLTAIRE NETWORK The latest developments have further deepened the long-lasting institutional and political crisis in Venezuela and reduced the democratic and constitutional space in the country. On May 26, Venezuela’s Supreme Court ratified Luis Parra as President of the National Assembly. As stated previously, the EU considers that the voting session that led to the "election" of Luis Parra was not legitimate. It did not respect legal procedure nor democratic constitutional principles. The EU continues to fully support Juan Guaidó as President of the National Assembly. It strongly rejects the violations of the democratic, constitutional and transparent functioning of the National Assembly, as well as the intimidations, violence and arbitrary decisions against i...

US lies to Security Council about Cuba and Venezuela

by Ana Silvia Rodríguez Abascal VOLTAIRE NETWORK Ihave the honour to write to you in order to make reference to the accusations made by the delegation of the United States of America against Cuba during the open videoconference of the Security Council under the agenda item “The situation in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela”, which was held on 20 May 2020. That delegation is once again, lying. Its accusations are just a mere excuse to justify the policy of hostility of the current government of the United States against Cuba, in view of the failure of the “regime change” policy in Venezuela. My country has no troops and does not participate in military or security operations in Venezuela. It is a sovereign right of two independent countries to determine how to cooperate in ...

Why Iran’s Fuel Tankers for Venezuela Are Sending Shudders Through Washington

by VIJAY PRASHAD Image Source: Marmelad – Made from Image:BlankMap-World6 – CC BY-SA 2.5 The first oil tanker that came from Iran’s Bandar Abbas port into the Caribbean is called Fortune. The tanker entered Venezuelan waters on May 24 and was then escorted by the Venezuelan Navy and Air Force to the Puerto Cabello oil terminal; the gasoline will supply the El Palito refinery. A second tanker entered Venezuelan waters on May 25, and three others are on their way. The Venezuelan government paid for the gasoline at market rates; in another world, it would be an ordinary commercial transaction. Not in this world. In April, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to send ships into the Caribbean supposedly on an anti-drug mission. These ships had threatened an...
