Almost 30 people attended the HoV seminar at the Helsinki Social Forum
in Finland on Sunday the 22nd. Speakers where Matti Laitinen and
Juhani Lohikoski for HoV Finland and Patrik Olofsson for HoV Sweden.
The discussion revolved around how to respond to the picture of
Venezuela given in the mainstream media, the crises of Venezuelan
capitalism and the sabotage of the economy by the capitalists. The
conclusion was made that capitalism is not an option for Venezuela and
that socialism is the only road forward.
The general awareness of the events in Latin America by the left in
Finland was also shown by a number of seminars devoted to Mexico and
Oaxaca.
