HOV-Italy (Giù le mani dal Venezuela)
-
In Milan, severe disruption caused by a heavy rainstorm which paralysed the city forced the organisers to postpone the party in solidarity with the Bolivarian revolution planned for the evening of September 18 to the next day, Sunday, September 19. Many who were planning to attend on the original date could not make it but nevertheless 20 people attended, in spite of the disruptions and a blackout in the area caused by the previous day's storm. They showed real interest in the material of the local HOV campaign and in the magazine of the Marxist tendency in the PSUV, Lucha de Clases.
In the past few weeks a clampdown has been declared on news from Venezuela in the Italian press, so the workers and students present were eager to know something more about the Bolivarian process and the standpoint of the revolutionaries in Latin America.
The comrades of "Giù le mani dal Venezuela" promise to step up the solidarity campaign whatever the outcome of the election will be, hoping that the effects of global warming in Italy will not block their activities again!
