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.

VENEZUELA'S LEFT VOICES CONCERNS OVER GOVERNMENT'S SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE PROJECT

A government-led consultation over the proposed Law on Special Economic Zones has sparked fierce debate amidst Chavista sectors.

The regional consultation meetings, which are largely being held between government authorities, supporters and local business owners, come as the law continues its progress through the National Assembly (AN). It is expected to be approved in July with the backing of both government and rightwing deputies.

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.

VENEZUELA'S LEFT VOICES CONCERNS OVER GOVERNMENT'S SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE PROJECT

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.

MADURO: COVAX 'OWES A DEBT' TO VENEZUELA

“Venezuela might be the only country in the world that is subject to a persecution against its right to freely purchase vaccines,” said the president, “Venezuela is besieged so that it cannot buy vaccines.”

Maduro also criticized the World Health Organization for delaying the delivery of vaccines through the United Nations COVAX program, which is meant to provide access to COVID-19 jabs to lower-income countries.

HOW IS US POP CULTURE USED AGAINST VENEZUELA?

The Bolivarian Revolution has faced permanent US regime change attempts, and this hostility has come alongside a constantly biased media coverage. Unsurprisingly, Washington's line has also spilled to mainstream culture. Shows like Homeland, Jack Ryan and even Parks and Recreation have all been guilty of echoing official anti-Venezuela propaganda.

In our latest joint production with Tatuy Tv, we look at how Venezuela has become an easy source of antagonists and villains in movies, TV shows and video games.

VENEZUELA'S OIL PRODUCTION BOUNCES BACK AS EXPERTS CONDEMN 'DEVASTATING' SANCTIONS

The May figures are the highest in 12 months and put the nation back in the steady growth trend it has been experiencing since the beginning of the year after reaching historic lows in the second half of 2020.

Venezuelan authorities have declared that production recovery is a priority, and PDVSA set a 1.5 million bpd target by the end of 2021. However, the oil industry remains heavily targeted by US sanctions that have caused output to fall steeply from an average of 1.9 million bpd in 2017 to 1.354 million, 796,000 and 500,000 bpd in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

OUTRAGE AS COVAX REPORTS BLOCKED VACCINE PAYMENTS, US SANCTIONS BLAMED

The Venezuelan government has accused Washington of lobbying international banks to block payments to the United Nations’ COVAX program, hindering the supply of Covid-19 vaccines.

The accusations come after COVAX authorities informed Venezuela’s UN Ambassador Héctor Constant Rosales that the Swiss-based UBS Bank had “blocked” and is “investigating” at least four outstanding transfers. COVAX reported a US $10 million outstanding deficit to complete Venezuela’s $120 million payment for 11 million vaccine doses, which cannot be dispatched until the funds are received. Caracas has reiterated that the full amount has been sent.
