Is the Venezuelan Economy Stabilizing or Is the Worst Still to Come?

NOVANEWS Venezuelan portal 15yÚltimo's latest editorial discusses the current economic reality and what may lie ahead. By 15yÚltimo Venezuelanalysis.com Lots of readers have asked us via social media what we think are the reasons that led the government and the Central Bank (BCV) to publish, all of a sudden, indicators that, also suddenly, stopped being published over three years ago. Some conjured their own theses amidst the questions: that it might be part of the Oslo negotiations [with the opposition], or that a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was on the way. These two were the most common. Others wondered if the Chinese or Russians had pressured the government to do so. Also among readers’ concerns, but more pressing, was the issue of hyperinflation, whether...

As of Jan. 23, 2019 when the self-declared 'president' Juan Guaido attempted to lead a coup, the hostility of the U.S. blockade against Venezuela increased substantially.

The Bolivarian Revolution Metes Out Poetic Justice

NOVANEWS By: Arnold August Caracas, May 4, 2019. | Photo: Twitter / @NicolasMaduro It is turning the tables on history and on its accusers, all the while increasingly winning the support of people worldwide. On April 30, 2019, the Bolivarian Revolution defeated the latest in a series of attempted U.S.-orchestrated coups d’états since the inaugural one on January 23, when Guaidó was recognized as President by Washington. US Military Still Actively Plotting Against Venezuela One of the main pretexts being used for the U.S. intervention is that the May 2018 presidential elections were supposedly steeped in electoral irregularities and therefore deficient. Thus, Maduro was, according to this false narrative, not elected democratically. However, in a twist of irony, it is t...

The Ever Dependable Bully on Embassy Row; Venezuela and Iraq Are No Longer Worlds Apart

NOVANEWS Embassy raided; citizens starved by sanctions; coveted oil resources targeted — again. By Barbara Nimri Aziz The United States is still punishing Iran for the 1979 takeover of its ‘sacred’ premises, its embassy in Tehran. By contrast, when American authorities occupy another nation’s embassy there’s nothing but approval from the American public and silent acquiescence by others. I don’t know about you, but I heard no outcry, not even a quiet show of concern emanating from the diplomatic corridors of Washington or New York earlier this month around the violation of sovereign diplomatic property—that of Venezuela. That hush recalls a similar embassy breakin—the American assault on and occupation of the Iraqi embassy on Massachusetts Avenue in late 1990. Anticipating t...

Unlawful Arrests of Venezuelan DC Embassy Protectors Symbolic of US Decadence

NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Activist embassy protectors were invited into Venezuela’s Washington diplomatic facility by its legitimate ruling authorities in Caracas. According to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, the premises of embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic facilities are inviolable territory — no one permitted inside without head of mission permission. The illegal seizure of Venezuela’s DC embassy and arrest of activist protectors were unprecedented acts of US diplomatic piracy. The Bolivarian Republic’s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Ron denounced what happened, calling the Trump regime’s action a flagrant international law violation, adding: “We do not authorize any of the coup leaders to enter our embassy in Washington DC. We call on the US governm...

U.S. breaks international law, seizing Venezuelan Embassy and arresting guests

NOVANEWS By Liberation The Embassy Protection Collective held their ground for five weeks inside, at the invitation of the Venezuelan government. Federal agents broke down the door on May 16. On May 16, the U.S. government committed a major violation of international law that was barely reported in the mainstream media. Federal agents broke down the door to the Venezuelan Embassy, arrested and removed the people living inside (at the invitation of the Venezuelan government). The Trump administration then handed the building over to an operative chosen by the United States to represent the country with no legal standing in Venezuela itself. Under international law — 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, articles 22 and 45 — a host country is prohibited from invasion ...

US ‘Bid to Destroy Venezuela’ Threatens the Foundations of International Law, Ambassador Warns

NOVANEWS By Ben Chacko Morning Star Washington’s bid to “destroy Venezuela” is wrecking the international laws governing relations between all states, Venezuela’s ambassador to Britain Rocio Maneiro warned today. “Nobody really understands the danger” of the precedent set by the decision by some countries to recognise would-be usurper Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s leader in contravention of all international norms, she warned. At a press conference in central London, Ms Maneiro said her country was “under siege,” noting that a blockade designed to “break the nation” had already cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives and that “if the nation resists the US military stands ready to act.” Ms Maneiro detailed the “net” cast by the US to trap Venezuela, including by oil sanctio...
