27 September 2007
Patrick Larsen - HoV Denmark
Ruben Linares, one of the national coordinators of the Venezuelan UNT, will be in Denmark between September 27 and October 4, invited by HOV-Denmark. Here we provide the details of his speaking tour.

From Thursday, September 27 to October 4, Rubén Linares, one of the national coordinators of the UNT, the Venezuelan revolutionary trade union confederation, will be touring Denmark to speak about the developments in the Bolivarian revolution, workers' control and Socialism in the 21st century.

This speaking tour is organized by the Danish chapter of the international Hands Off Venezuela campaign. This will be a unique opportunity for young people, workers and trade unionists to hear about the exciting revolutionary events unfolding in Venezuela.

Rubén will be one of the main guests at the Danish Social Forum, that is taking place in Copenhagen September 28-30. Last year the event attracted some 3000 people throughout the weekend and this year's forum is expected to be of the same size.

Apart from that, Rubén will be speaking at various public meetings, in schools, trade unions and with the press. He will also participate in the big demonstrations that have been called by the trade union movement for October 2 against the cuts of the right-wing government.

We invite all those who have an interest in the Venezuelan revolution to come along for the public meetings and help us make this speaking tour a success.
