VENEZUELA MOURNS LONGTIME CHAVISTA LEADER ARISTÓBULO ISTÚRIZ
"The death of Professor Aristóbulo Istúriz is a great blow to the people of Venezuela. The humblest in all the country's schools mourn today," President Nicolás Maduro said during the funeral on Wednesday, hailing Istúriz as “a guide for revolutionary people." The ceremony in the National Assembly Elliptical Hall was attended by ministers, military authorities and grassroots movements, who paid tribute to his life’s work.
Maduro awarded the longtime Chavista with the first-class Order of Libertadores and Libertadoras and a replica of Simón Bolívar’s sword, the highest distinctions given in Venezuela. Istúriz's wife and daughter received the condecorations.

CRISIS & CRITIQUE: THE IBERO-AMERICAN SUMMIT'S IMPACT ON VENEZUELA
Of the 22 countries that attended the recent summit, 18 had taken the bait with the “interim administration” and stopped recognizing Maduro's presidency. It is therefore curious that at the summit only four protested the presence of an administration that many of them do not officially recognize.
It is logical to think that a de facto recognition of Maduro's presidency, at least in most Ibero-American countries, took place on April 21. As a result, the break with the Guaidó “presidency” was formalized, something that had already happened with the European Union but not with Central and South American countries.

RURAL PRODUCERS PROTEST 'FRAUD' AT SUGAR MILL
Some 450 sugar cane producers have staged protests outside the Cumanacoa Sugar Mill in Sucre State, eastern Venezuela.
The movement’s spokespeople allege that sugar cane growers have been “defrauded” by the company, currently run jointly by TecnoAgro (a private enterprise) and CorpoSucre (owned by the Sucre governorship). According to publicly released information, the sugar mill only paid 20 percent of the agreed-upon sum for the latest 21 thousand metric ton harvest.

VENEZUELAN TRADE UNIONS, LEFT PARTIES BLAST 'PYRRHIC' MAY 1 WAGE INCREASE
A number of Venezuelan trade unions and left-wing parties firmly rejected the government’s May Day salary increase over the weekend.
Monthly incomes were upped by 289% from 1.8 million to 7 million bolivars (BsS) on Saturday, or from US $0.64 to $2.50 at the current exchange rate, respectively. The increase, which applies to public and private sector workers, will also be used to calculate pensions. Public sector workers likewise see an increase in additional food tickets from 1.8 to 3 million BsS, with their new monthly combined income of 10 million BsS equating to the cost of one carton of 30 eggs.

At an alternative May Day rally outside the Labor Ministry, FNLCT National Coordinator Pedro Eusse told workers that “a revolutionary way out of this crisis of capitalism is needed” and that the working class “should play a leading role” in running the state.
“We are living through a destruction of wages and the imposition of workplace deregulation, flexibility in labor relations, the undoing of collective contracts, violation of union rights, (and) criminalization and persecution of labor struggles,” he went on to say.

International reactions, mainly from Washington and its allies, were also swift after Tuesday’s announcement. Luis Almagro, head of the Organization of American States (OAS), criticized the appointments and accused those who took part in the CNE dialogue of being “collaborationists” of the Maduro government.
However, the assistant secretary for the US Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Julie Chung, struck a more moderate tone. The diplomat said “it's up to Venezuelans” to decide whether the new National Electoral Council is a positive step, but stressed that the US would “continue to press for the fundamental minimum changes needed for free and fair elections.”
