URGENT: Coup plots in Bolivia and Venezuela!

Attempted coups in Bolivia and Venezuela, urgent solidarity action needed

The ongoing coup attempt in Bolivia continues, and yesterday 8 peasants were killed when they were ambushed by fascist gangs of the oligarchy. In the working class area of Plan 3000 in Santa Cruz, the people repelled the fascist gangs which had attempted to enter this area to spread fear.

As a result of these provocations Evo Morales has expelled the US ambassador.

In the evening of Thursday a coup plot was uncovered in Venezuela. The people immediately gathered outside Miraflores and Chavez addressed them announcing the expulsion of the US ambassador. A mass meeting of PSUV activists and leaders took place afterwards at the Fuerte San Carlos and it was agreed to call a march for today outside Fuerte Tiuna, the city's main military barracks and mass demonstrations in all the regional capitals on Saturday.

It is time to say enough is enough. The oligarchy in Venezuela and Bolivia has shown once and again their lack of respect for the democratic will of the majority of the people.

We need to organise solidarity. Urgent meetings should take place to plan actions of solidarity around the world. There should be rallies outside of the US embassies and public assemblies to discuss the situation and coordinate further action.

The Venezuelan and Bolivian embassies around the world must contacted to help and participate in this mobilisation.

IT IS TIME FOR ACTION

DOWN WITH THE REACTIONARY COUPS IN BOLIVIA AND VENEZUELA

DOWN WITH US IMPERIALISM

LONG LIVE THE BOLIVIAN AND BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION

FORWARD TO SOCIALISM

 

An URGENT call to action:

Bolivia, Venezuela, no coup, no US interference
