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.

US TRYING TO EXTRADITE VENEZUELAN DIPLOMAT FOR THE 'CRIME' OF IMPORTING FOOD: THE CASE OF ALEX SAAB V. THE EMPIRE

The case of Alex Saab raises dangerous precedents in terms of extraterritorial judicial abuse, violation of diplomatic status, and even the use of torture to extract false confessions.

This is according to Montréal-based international human rights lawyer John Philpot. He spoke on May 19 at a webinar sponsored by the Alliance for Global Justice and other groups about this example of the long reach of the US empire enforcing its deadly sanctions on some one third of humanity.

VENEZUELA ANNOUNCES RENEWED VACCINATION EFFORT AFTER DELIVERY OF 1.3 MILLION DOSES

Health Minister Carlos Álvarado reported that 90 percent of healthcare workers had already been vaccinated and that the country was focusing on ensuring priority groups—including senior citizens, frontline essential workers, and adults under 60 with comorbidities—would be next to receive the vaccine.

The South American country’s vaccination process lags behind regional neighbors, with US-led sanctions and the seizure of Venezuelan assets abroad hampering efforts to secure more vaccines. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez previously condemned the global inequality in access to vaccines.

VENEZUELA: MADURO HAILS SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE 'OPPORTUNITIES'

The upcoming legislation has generated debates nationwide, with award-winning Venezuelan writer Luis Britto García warning about the proliferation of “sweatshops,” the suspension of regulations and the creation of tax havens for investors to the detriment of the Venezuelan treasury and workers' rights.

Vice Minister for Special Economic Zones Development, Juan Arias, countered Britto's arguments stressing the law was designed to bring capital to developing areas with tax incentives but denying it would lead to tax havens or the relaxation of national legislation within the SEZs.

🎨 Venezuelan artists have dressed up the streets with colorful murals for the upcoming 200th anniversary of the decisive anti-colonial Battle of Carabobo, fought on June 24, 1821.

The paintings decorate walls in popular neighborhoods, avenues, schools, parks, communes and many other public spaces as part of a "National Mural Competition" to celebrate the legendary battle, its heroes and heroines.

Simón Bolívar and the patriotic army's decisive victory at the Battle of Carabobo led to the independence of Venezuela from Spanish rule. It's a national celebration that upholds the country's self-determination, anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism values.
