They came in their tens of thousands, in their
hundreds of thousands. They came from schools, from colleges, from
universities, from teachers unions and trade unions, and from the Social
Missions concerned with education. They came in their red shirts with different
names but all saying the same thing, Si in the referendum. Eyewitness report from Caracas.

We received this letter from a Hands Off Venezuela member in London who is in Venezuela at the moment. "Perhaps the most important thing is that the revolution is happening all over the country and is being carried forward not by the officials and bureaucrats but the ordinary people who through a massive effort of will and as an expression of love, conviction and belief are making these things happen." |

Visiting Venezuela this young comrade has got a taste of the revolutionary fervour that is gripping the country. He has witnessed the masses taking part in political life, masses that have risen off their knees and are challenging capitalism and everything that it represents. |

I decided I would go to El Charcote, near San Carlos, as I had heard that there was a land dispute between a wealthy English Company and some campesino families who had occupied the land. I thought that perhaps our solidarity group could do something to support the campesinos in their struggle to stay on the land. |

The maelstrom of events that I have witnessed, both big and small, typical of a revolutionary process, are really fascinating. Its not something you only see in the streets, read in the newspapers, or see on the walls of the city, but something you feel. A letter from Caracas by Jean Duval. |

This is the second letter of Hands Off Venezuela supporter Tomás, in which he talks about the social programs that are being carried out by the government. "In the political dust bowl of Ireland it had been quite trying for a lefty like me for quite some time and this oasis of political activity and working grass roots socialism has boosted my beliefs in a better system. I have already begun to borrow some revolution." |

In his fourth letter, Irish Hands Off Venezuela supporter Tomás writes about the nationalised paper factory Venepal (now INVEPAL). "INVEPAL is proving here in this coastal area of Venezuela that socialism does work, whilst Venezuela as a nation is beginning to embrace the socialist model as the only model that allows all of mankind the ability and space to develop its potential." |
