VENEZUELA TO COVAX: SEND VACCINES OR RETURN PAYMENT
According to government sources, some 2.5 million Venezuelans have received at least the first dose of a vaccine, representing roughly 11% of its 22 million adult population. While this figure is in line with continental averages, it is well shy of the declared 70% target set for December.
Venezuela’s vaccination program began in February with healthcare, education and security workers, before expanding to over-60-year-olds in May and now younger adults. Healthcare authorities are currently vaccinating an estimated 200,000 people a day and eyeing an increase to 500,000. Prison inmates and workers are to be included in the program as well, with 40,000 people from 80 prisons starting to receive vaccines last week.

ICC REJECTS VENEZUELA'S CHALLENGE, DECISION ON FORMAL PROSECUTION EXPECTED SOON
The Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) rejected a legal challenge by the Venezuelan government for the chamber to take "judicial control" of an investigation into alleged human rights abuses by state officials.
In its decision, the chamber ruled that the challenge was “premature” but praised Venezuela for being “forthcoming in providing fruitful cooperation with the Court” and reiterated its call for the ICC prosecutor to “abide by its duty to maintain a meaningful dialogue with Venezuela.” The Caribbean country had argued that the investigation had “legal irregularities” and criticized the “lack of complementarity” concerning its communications with the Hague-based Court.

VENEZUELAN CAMPESINOS MOBILIZE TO DEFEND LAND LAW, DEMAND GOV'T ANSWERS
Over 200 Venezuelan campesinos and allied activists rallied in Caracas against threats to change the historic Land Law and to demand justice in the countryside.
On Wednesday, 21 rural organizations, joined by a number of Caracas’ social movements, staged a protest in front of the National Assembly (AN) building, rejecting recent government overtures to Venezuela's Cattle Ranchers Federation (FEDENAGA), a powerful landowner guild pushing for a reform of the 2001 law.

An economist and a professor at Venezuela’s Central University (UCV), Oly Millán is a former Minister of Popular Economy under Hugo Chávez.
In this interview, we talk to Millán about the Law for Special Economic Zones (henceforth SEZs), which is expected to soon be approved by the National Assembly. The law’s white paper, ratified by National Assembly members from the PSUV and opposition alike in late April, has been criticized by many Chavista intellectuals including writers Luis Britto García, economist Pascualina Curcio, and lawyer and former constitutional assembly delegate María Alejandra Díaz.

VENEZUELA'S SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES: A CONVERSATION WITH OLY MILLÁN
It is important to talk about this, because the approval of the Law for Special Economic Zones would have a big impact on our economy and our sovereignty. In fact, I would argue that it would be the fullest expression of the liberalization process that began in 2014, when the Law for the Integral Regionalization for the Socio-Productive Development was passed. That law opened the path to creating SEZs in that it partially abrogated national laws in some territories.
The key elements for developing SEZs are, technically, economic ones: fiscal and financial obligations are lifted while environmental restrictions are relaxed in favor of capital. In this sense and otherwise, SEZs are undoubtedly neoliberal in character.

🤰 Venezuela’s Humanized Childbirth Plan was born out of years of feminists movements’ struggles to reduce maternal mortality, eliminate obstetric violence and guarantee access to contraceptives and reproductive healthcare.
The groundbreaking program continues today despite the country's years-long economic crisis, exacerbated by US-led sanctions and now the Covid-19 pandemic.
Venezuela's feminist movements have stated that much work is still needed to fully guarantee women’s rights.

EU MISSION EVALUATES VENEZUELA ELECTORAL TEAM AS GOV'T - OPPOSITION TALKS SCHEDULED
The European Union (EU) has sent an “exploratory mission” to Venezuela to assess social and political conditions in the country.
The 15-day mission is similarly charged with judging electoral guarantees and the “utility, convenience and viability” of adding an EU delegation to the typically ample electoral observer teams for the November 21 “mega-elections,” in which more than 100 political parties are vying to elect over 3000 public regional and local officials.

CHÁVEZ THE RADICAL XXV: 'POLITICAL EFFICACY AND REVOLUTIONARY CHARACTER'
In his opening speech at the United Socialist Party (PSUV) Congress in 2009, Hugo Chávez invoked two major political references: Alfredo Maneiro and Vladimir Lenin.
A political theorist and former guerrilla, Maneiro stressed the need for "political efficacy and revolutionary character." Addressing the ruling party members, Chávez draws on Maneiro to argue that a revolution needs to develop new ways of governing and doing politics.
From Lenin, Chávez quoted "The State and the Revolution" to explain that a socialist revolution must do away with the old state and the bourgeois order. In the Venezuelan case, that meant wresting control of key sectors from the bourgeoisie.

🇻🇪🗡 Francisco de Miranda is considered “El Precursor” (“the forerunner”) of Latin American independence, paving the way for Simón Bolívar's “Liberating Army” success.
Known as “The First Universal Venezuelan” and “The Great Univeral American,” Miranda took part in three major historical events: the French Revolution, the American War of Independence and the South American liberation.
Although the revolutionary leader never lived to see South America freed from Spanish rule, his contribution to the cause was considerable.
He signed Venezuela’s Act of Independence, and his name is inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Miranda also designed the tricolor standard that became the basis for Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia’s flags.
Francisco de Miranda was born on March 28, 1750, in Caracas and died on July 14, 1816, in a Spanish prison outside Cadiz. He has an elaborate tomb in Venezuela's National Pantheon.
