On October 7, Venezuelans will go to the polls to elect the president of the country. Nearly 14 years since Hugo Chavez was first elected in 1998, this is a crucial test for Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution. In numerous elections and referenda, the overwhelming majority of the Venezuelan people have consistently ratified their support for the wide program of social transformation which has been taking place.
We are pleased to announce the June 2012 edition of the Hands Off Venezuela Newsletter, which is devoted entirely to the October 7 presidential elections.
On April 12th, around 70 people gathered at a Hands Off Venezuela meeting at Bolivar Hall in London to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the defeat of the counter-revolutionary coup against Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela. The meeting served as the premiere of ‘Cuarto Poder’, a documentary summarising the negative portrayal of the President Chavez in the Spanish media and the reasons for this negative bias.
At its annual Congress held at the Harrogate International Centre, from Saturday 28 May to Monday 30 May 2011, the University and College Union, has passed a unanimous resolution condemning US sanctions against PDVSA.
Hands Off Venezuela strongly condemns the unilateral sanctions imposed by the US administration against the Venezuelan oil company PDVSA for trading with Iran.
