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.
