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.

VENEZUELA REJECTS ACCUSATIONS OF ELECTION MEDDLING IN PERU

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza dismissed accusations by former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana that Nicolás Maduro was behind leftist candidate Pedro Castillo’s victory in Peru’s presidential election.

In an invective tweet, Arreaza questioned Pastrana’s capacity to reason and obsession with Venezuela after the latter told a media outlet that the wave of leftist victories in the region were owed to the “criminal enterprise financed by the narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro and Diosdado Cabello.”

VENEZUELA REJECTS ACCUSATIONS OF ELECTION MEDDLING IN PERU

Venezuela was a feature in the presidential race, with right-wing figures and defeated candidate Keiko Fujimori campaigning against “communism” and claiming Peru would end up like Venezuela in the event of a Castillo win. The large Venezuelan immigrant community, which has faced several xenophobic incidents, was also a campaign theme.

The Venezuelan opposition likewise joined the anti-Castillo camp, with far-right leader Leopoldo López flying to Peru on the eve of the election to endorse Fujimori. López is currently residing in Spain, having escaped from house arrest during a failed coup in April 2019. He then resided in the Spanish embassy for 18 months before fleeing the country. Caracas has demanded his extradition.

US CONGRESSMAN URGES BIDEN TO END 'MISGUIDED AND IMMORAL' VENEZUELAN SANCTIONS

Representative McGovern follows a number of Democrats in calling for sanctions relief. Ilhan Omar, Jesús García, Elizabeth Warren and Chris Murphy penned letters earlier this year asking the Biden administration to revise its sanctions policy amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

McGovern’s letter was welcomed by a number of international actors, including the Washington DC-based Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR). “There is no longer any way to hide the fact, which every economist knows, that the terrible suffering and death that Venezuela has experienced in recent years is overwhelmingly a result of economic collapse and deprivation caused by US sanctions,” said Mark Weisbrot, the think tank’s co-director.

THE COMMUNARD UNION, CHÁVEZ's IDEAS IN ACTION: A CONVERSATION WITH JUAN LENZO

Inspired by Chávez’s ideas, the Communard Union was born as a space to link up communal efforts in a large national organization that would allow us to break with mere localism, overcoming the isolation of the different Venezuelan grassroots projects. In this way, the Communard Union seeks to create an integrated project with a nationwide vision and with a plan to transform the country.

Currently, more than twenty projects from different regions are being integrated into the Communard Union. This is being done by the Argelia Laya Brigade, which promotes the connections in organization, exchange, production, communication, and integral defense of the territories.

Born on February 6, 1929, Fabricio Ojeda grew up in the small rural town of Bocono, Trujillo State. At just 17, he joined the Democratic Republic Union (URD), a grassroots political force engaged in social justice.

Ojeda became a journalist and used his role as a reporter in the Miraflores Presidential Palace to help overthrow Venezuela's last known dictator Marcos Perez Jiménez (1952-1958). He was president of the Patriotic Junta, the civic-military coalition that organized the plot.

However, the popular victory was co-opted by US-backed members of the coalition, which resulted in the ‘Pact of PuntoFijo,’ signed on October 31, 1958. This was followed by four decades of bi-partisan power in favor of the country’s political elites.

Rejecting the new US-backed government, Fabricio Ojeda resigned from Congress on June 30, 1962, and founded a guerrilla movement, the Armed Forces for National Liberation (FALN). His resignation letter remains a source of inspiration for people's struggles today.

The popular leader was captured on June 21, 1966, and, four days later, he was found dead in a prison cell with signs of torture. Authorities alleged a suicide.

Former President Hugo Chávez admired Ojeda's struggles for social justice and opened an investigation of his death.

In January 2017, Ojeda's remains were taken to the National Pantheon in Caracas, and he was bestowed with Venezuelan Liberators' Order First Class.

VENEZUELA BLASTS 'US-SCRIPTED' INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION DONOR CONFERENCE AS 'MEDIA FARCE'

The Venezuelan government has slammed the holding of an ‘International Donor Conference in Solidarity with Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants’ last Thursday in Canada.

The event was jointly organized by the Canadian, US, and Spanish governments alongside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Regional Inter-Institutional Coordination Platform for Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants (R4V). Similar conferences were held in Belgium and Spain in 2019 and 2020, respectively, with the Spanish conference generating US $3 billion in pledges.

VENEZUELA BLASTS 'US-SCRIPTED' INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION DONOR CONFERENCE AS 'MEDIA FARCE'

Last Friday, the UNHCR released its annual Global Report in which Venezuelan migration was a key element. According to UN 2020 data, Venezuelan migration has remained steady at roughly 5.4 million, of which 85% live in Latin America.

Out of the total, 171,000 are considered refugees, 851,000 asylum seekers, 2.5 million have legal residencies and 3.85 million are “displaced persons.” In contrast to refugees, the UN defines displaced persons as those “who are likely to be in need of international protection under the criteria contained in the Cartagena Declaration, but who have not applied for asylum.”

The report goes on to indicate that while 130,000 migrants returned to Venezuela in 2020, the total number of “displaced persons” has risen 300,000 from 2019.
