🤰 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.

“There are no elements to indicate that the pending judicial process [against Ramírez] amounts to persecution for political reasons [or that] the procedure will not respect the accused's fundamental rights,” the two-pages letter sent by Cavallone to the court reads.
The court's prosecutor likewise stated that Ramírez' alleged crimes of embezzlement, bidding irregularities and criminal association are similarly sanctioned in the Italian legal system, particularly "in articles 314, 353 and 416 of the Penal Code.” In addition, Cavallone recalled that the two nations share an active extradition treaty approved in 1931.

CHÁVEZ THE RADICAL XXVI: 'WHAT ARE PRIVATIZATIONS?'
Chavismo emerged in Venezuela as an alternative project when neoliberalism and the Washington consensus had taken hold of Latin America.
In this edition of Chávez the Radical, former President Hugo Chávez recalls how the governments of the 1980s and 1990s were following the IMF playbook, especially in terms of the privatization of state assets.
As the Maduro government, under the weight of a severe crisis and US sanctions, turns rightward in its economic policy, Chávez's warning echoes: "It would be horrifying to see another neoliberal package in Venezuela."

Cooperation between Cuba and Venezuela remains strong, with Caracas supplying 35,000 barrels of oil a day (bpd) to its ally, down from previous highs around 90,000 bpd. Venezuela, which is also subject to an “illegal” and “devastating” US blockade, is coordinating to produce Cuba’s Soberana 02 and Adbala vaccines locally and was the first country to start using the latter. In February, Venezuela backed Cuba’s Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Following the recent attacks against Havana, a number of activities have been organized in Venezuela in solidarity with Cuba, including a salsa concert “Against the Blockades of Venezuela and Cuba” next Monday in Caracas.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLOCKADE: STORIES OF RESISTANCE FROM EL MAIZAL COMMUNE (PART I)
El Maizal Commune lies in the fertile lands between the Lara and Portuguesa states in western Venezuela. Founded in 2009, this rural commune has since become an important political and economic force in both the region and the country. It not only produces huge amounts of corn every year, but also raises cattle and pigs, along with a growing number of additional side enterprises. Most importantly, El Maizal Commune forges new social relations and new human beings: people committed to the socialist project that Chávez promoted during his lifetime.
In the first of this three-part series, we listen to El Maizal’s communards explain the principal effects of the sanctions and the ways in which this flagship organization works to maintain Chávez’s communal path towards socialism.
