NOVANEWS Following the mandate of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, the foreign policy of the Bolivarian Revolution will deploy all its efforts to “achieve a system of guarantees that, whether in times of peace or war, shall be the shield of our new destiny”, that is, an international environment that guarantees the Independence of the Homeland aiming at the full implementation of a sovereign national project. Inspired by the harmonious vision that characterizes the cosmogony of our indigenous populations and the Bolivarian concept stating that the international political action should tend to conform “the equilibrium of the Universe”, the foreign policy of the Bolivarian Venezuela will promote the creation of a multipolar world whose ultimate end is the preservation of peace based on ...

NOVANEWS A Palestinian walks by a damaged house after an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip. Another savage aggression against the Gaza Strip has begun.

Once again, Israel is bombing the Gaza Strip,” Chavez told a cabinet meeting on Thursday. Chavez, a strong critic of the Tel Aviv regime and the US, expelled the Israeli ambassador to Venezuela to protest against Tel Aviv’s assault on Gaza in 2009.

NOVANEWS Posted by: Sammi Ibrahem Sr www.lalkar.org Hugo Chávez and the ‘Great Patriotic Pole’ (GPP), the alliance of left parties led by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) - which includes the Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV) who supported and worked for the Chávez campaign - have won a comfortable victory in the Venezuelan Presidential Elections.  The size of the victory, with Chávez a clear 10 percentage points ahead of his nearest opponent, is significant in a country that doesn’t make voting mandatory and yet secured a turnout of over 80% of those eligible to vote.  This shows the importance that ordinary Venezuelans placed on these elections, rightly perceiving that their future could be very different depending on which way the vote went. The main opposition candidate, H...

NOVANEWS by jodymcintyre We get onto the tube at the far-end carriage, which is reserved for disabled people. As usual, the entire tube is completely packed; public transport is efficient and widely used in Caracas. The carriage at the far end is slightly less so, and we get on, but a man wearing a suit jacket is standing in quite an inconvenient position. Opposite me, another man is sitting in a wheelchair, with his wife and young son next to him. "Can you move out the way?" the man in the wheelchair said. No prizes for guessing who he was speaking to. "It's fine," the man in the business suit replied, "I'm getting off at the next stop, anyway." "Why are you standing there anyway," the man in the wheelchair replied, "it's an area for wheelchair users." The word 'why' might g...

NOVANEWS By Tony Cartalucci Global Research Venezuela looks to have effectively outmaneuvered Western designs to overthrow national sovereignty, but many challenges lay ahead. Venezuela has provided the world with a successful model to counter the subversive methods of Wall Street and London in their bid to overthrow yet another nation-state to be rolled into their global collective. However, many have noted that President Hugo Chavez is a flawed leader, with flawed policies – many of which run contra to concepts of personal freedom and liberty. Image: President Hugo Chavez soundly defeated US-backed opposition, despite a coordinated propaganda campaign, and millions of US State Department dollars utilized to manipulate the elections. Venezuela still faces many challenges. While this co...

NOVANEWS by jodymcintyre Election reflections from the New Internationalist: Emotions can be difficult to summarize with words. How does one portray the atmosphere of thousands of grassroots political activists (at least, that is how I would describe Venezuelan voters) flooding into the streets and celebrating, before the election results have even been announced? How does one convey the scene of ordinary people waking up at 3.00am, queuing to vote at polling stations from 4.00am for an election that doesn’t even open for another two hours? In last Sunday’s Venezuelan presidential election, people queued in the sunshine for hours; they voted in their millions – over 80 per cent of the voting population – and then they celebrated throughout the night. The experience could not be mor...
