Venezuela

I know Chavez well, and no one could be more reluctant than him to allow a showdown between the Venezuelan and Colombian peoples that leads to bloodshed. These are two fraternal peoples, the same as Cubans living in the east, center and west end of our island. I find no other way to explain the close relationship between Venezuelans and Colombians.

I think that the governments of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua let down
the entire Tamil population in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri
Lanka, as well as “proletarian internationalism” and the “exploited”,
by extending unconditional support to Sri Lanka’s racist government.I think that the governments of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua let down

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called for the formation of a “Fifth International” of left parties and social movements to confront the challenge posed by the global crisis of capitalism.

The Venezuelan government recovers 1,752 hectares in Merida, Zulia, Tachira and Trujillo states, as reported by the Minister of Popular Power for Agriculture and Soils, Elías Jaua.

Chavez: “There is no possible negotiation if [our] sovereignty is threatened (…) The only solution for Venezuela and Colombia to reinstate their dialogue is that The United States of America cancels the installation of military bases in Neogranadine territory.”

All true revolutionaries in Venezuela insist that the only solution to the current imperialist threat is socialism. On November 15, 2009, on the occasion of the elections for the delegates of the congress of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) President Hugo Chavez Frias again confirmed this urgent endeavor. At this decisive stage of the Bolivarian Revolution, the development of the 'young' Marx from the critique of religion to  criticism of the State, of the bourgeois revolution, to the defense of human, proletarian emancipation, is very educative indeed.

Reducing the market share of Venezuela’s two largest coffee makers, Fama de America and Cafe Madrid, the government nationalized the former and turned the latter into a mixed enterprise partially owned by the state.

On December 15th 2006, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez announced his desire to create a single, consolidated left wing party entitled the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). Chavez encouraged all left-wing parties, representing the mass majority of the National Assembly, to dissolve into the PSUV and abandon their current leadership. Chavez has framed the formulation of the PSUV as an essential step toward creating 21st Century Socialism and furthering the revolutionary goals of the Bolivarian process.

  Chancelor David Choquehuanca reported that the Summit of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) scheduled for December 14 and 15 will surely discuss the use of the 7 US military bases in Colombia.”On Tuesday, Bolivian President, Evo Morales, asserted that he will call for an ALBA emergency meeting in order to analyze the US military bases situation in Colombia.

In Venezuelan industrial city of Cagua in Aragua, workers of a Major abandoned company in question had been requesting expropriation through the Venezuelan bureaucracy since 2006. This had not worked out for the workers until now.
