CRISIS & CRITIQUE: NEW CNE, NEW POLITICAL SCENE?
The two principal CNE rectors belonging to the opposition (out of a total of five) come from currents with significant electoral weight that, until now, toed the abstentionist line dictated by Venezuela’s radical right.
On the one hand, Enrique Márquez, who was also appointed to be CNE vice president, comes from the opposition A New Era (UNT) party which is a member of the G4 coalition: the four largest opposition parties which boycotted recent elections.
Likewise, the appointment of engineer Roberto Picón as CNE rector is surprising. Picón, in addition to being a businessman, is an electoral advisor for the opposition and designed the Democratic Unity Roundtable’s (MUD) successful 2015 election strategy.

THE VIOLENCE AND ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY US ECONOMIC SANCTIONS IN VENEZUELA
US economic sanctions against Venezuela are a violent and illegal form of coercion, seeking regime change through collective punishment of the civilian population. The motives are fairly clear from the public statements of US officials. The number of Venezuelans who have died as a result of these sanctions has been estimated in the tens of thousands, and this has certainly increased substantially over the past two and a half years that have elapsed since the last available mortality data.

FARC LEADER JESÚS SANTRICH REPORTEDLY KILLED INSIDE VENEZUELA
The statement said the 53-year-old rebel commander was killed by a Colombian commando unit in the border Perijá region, with the unit quickly evacuated by helicopter but not before taking Santrich’s pinky finger. The FARC hailed Santrich’s decades-long struggle and called on the Colombian people to continue the protests against Iván Duque’s government.
In response, Colombia’s defense ministry contradicted the statement, claiming instead that the guerrilla leader was killed in a firefight with another “criminal” organization.

VENEZUELA: LÁCTEOS LOS ANDES PRESIDENT JAILED ON CORRUPTION CHARGES
“It’s abhorrent that officials appointed to hold strategic positions, in order to benefit the people and minimize the consequences of [US-led economic] sanctions, are engaged in crime," Saab condemned.
The attorney general said the investigations on the dairy producer’s corruption scheme were ongoing and more arrests could follow.
Following the revelations on Friday, local media outlets reported the suicide of Lácteos Los Andes marketing manager Reinaldo González in Lara state, who wasn’t facing charges at the time. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of his death.

SANCTIONS, MAKING VENEZUELA SCREAM: A CONVERSATION WITH ALEXANDER MAIN (PART I)
The sanctions have been very harmful. They have contributed enormously to Venezuela’s economic decline, and have contributed to extreme human suffering.
As it is, Venezuela doesn't have the resources – namely the necessary foreign exchange that it would normally obtain through the sale of oil products – that it needs to import all the food and medicine required by the population. That means that essential goods became more scarce, more difficult to access for ordinary people, and when they are available at all they become very, very expensive.

VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION PARTIES TO PRESENT UNIFIED TICKET FOR REGIONAL ELECTIONS
Venezuela is set to hold constitutionally mandated elections for governors and mayors, as well as regional and local legislative chambers, later this year. The newly appointed National Electoral Council announced last week that all contests will be held simultaneously in “mega-elections” on November 21.
The Democratic Alliance was formed prior to the December 2020 parliamentary elections but won only 20 out of the 277 seats in the National Assembly, with the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV) securing an overwhelming victory after mainstream, US-backed opposition parties boycotted the vote.

VENEZUELA'S 'BEST GOVERNOR' AND 2002 'HERO' GARCÍA CARNEIRO DIES
During the short-lived coup against Chávez, García Carneiro was one of the few generals who remained loyal to the president. At the time, he was in charge of Caracas’ armed forces, a role which led the coup mongers to arrest him and hold him in Fuerte Tiuna military headquarters on April 11.
After convincing a handful of mid-ranking officers to disobey orders and free him, García Carneiro famously took to the city’s streets with a loudspeaker, organizing the remaining loyal military officers and local residents flooding down from the shantytowns to demand the return of their president. His actions, including breaking barricades and seizing tanks, spurred Caracas on to successfully force Chávez’s return on April 13.
