TALES OF RESISTANCE: WE'RE GETTING OLD
A few years ago, parents/grandparents could live like princes(ses) off of their pensions and as kings/queens if they had worked in the public sector. That money, similar to what any professional worker would earn, allowed them to afford food, medicines and other pleasures like showering grandchildren with gifts.
Nowadays, in contrast, the meager dollars they get amount to a box of pills to lower blood pressure, an ever more frequent ailment of the Venezuelan people.

US CONFIRMS NO VENEZUELA SANCTIONS RELIEF WITHOUT 'IRREVERSIBLE CHANGES'
The Colombia-based diplomat went on to explain that the Biden White House would only consider a policy shift upon receiving “irreversible,” “conclusive” and “fundamental changes” from Caracas. While Washington’s representative offered no further details on what these changes may entail, Guaidó has previously established President Nicolás Maduro’s resignation, alongside new presidential elections, as preconditions for sanctions relief.
Story’s statements come amidst speculation over whether Biden plans to continue Donald Trump’s aggressive stance towards Venezuela or heed to domestic and international pressure for sanctions relief.

VENEZUELAN SOLDIERS FREED AFTER CAPTURE IN BORDER REGION
The soldiers were captured during combat operations on the Colombo-Venezuelan border in early May but their detention was only confirmed by Caracas a few weeks later after establishing communication channels and taking steps to secure their release.
The Venezuelan government reportedly enlisted the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to coordinate the liberation of eight soldiers. Padrino’s statement did not specify if the ICRC played a role in their release.

REENGAGING WITH OUR SUBVERSIVE TRADITIONS: A CONVERSATION WITH AMARANTA
I would say that it is in music that Chávez found his identity as someone who defends the people. This music that comes from the heart, from the entrails, is the rhizome that began to form him. Of course, as the popular saying goes, every pulpero [shop owner] praises his cheese, but for me, it is impossible to understand Chávez without understanding his roots, and his roots are in the music of the humble campesino. Popular music builds class consciousness. It doesn’t operate as a fashionable playlist nor as a tool for domination. Instead, it creates identity and forges commitment.

US SANCTIONS AGAINST VENEZUELA CAUSE SHORTAGES IN DIESEL, EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Corporate journalists began to scrutinize the consequences of sanctions and complain about their “failure” to topple the Maduro government toward the end of the Trump administration (Vox, 9/9/20; New York Times, 11/1/20). But the arrival of President Joe Biden evidently reinvigorated their sense of duty as loyal stenographers serving the imperial presidency. As the US blockade becomes more asphyxiating to Venezuelans than ever before, corporate outlets have either turned their gaze somewhere else, or doubled down on misrepresenting sanctions.

Objection to the law has also come from influential Chavista intellectuals and economists. Award-winning writer Luis Britto Garcia criticized the proposed tax breaks for large foreign corporations, as well as the “ceding of national territory,” as “unconstitutional” while economist Pascualina Curcio expressed her “concern” over the inherent weakening of labor rights.
“I am worried about the naivety of those who say that there will not be any deterioration in labor conditions in the SEZs, when this is precisely the aspect which will guarantee greater profits for capital,” she wrote.
