UN RIGHTS EXPERTS WARN SANCTIONS 'HOLD BACK' DEVELOPMENT AS PDVSA OUTPUT SLIDES AGAIN

Oil production slid again in July to 512,000 bpd, secondary sources reported. For its part, PDVSA registered a higher number of 614,000 bpd, a 19,000 bpd drop from the previous month.

Venezuelan authorities have declared that oil output recovery is a priority, setting a 1.5 million bpd goal by the end of 2021. According to tracking data and documents cited by Reuters, PDVSA is planning to restart the Petromonagas heavy crude upgrader located in the eastern Orinoco Oil Belt to boost production. The joint venture has been paralyzed for over a year after US secondary sanctions forced Russia’s energy giant Rosneft to cease its operations in Venezuela’s oil sector and transfer its assets to a Kremlin-controlled company in February 2020.

THE STRUGGLE TO KEEP CHÁVEZ'S LEGACY ALIVE: STORIES OF RESISTANCE FROM EL MAIZAL COMMUNE (PART II)

For the communal project to grow, we have to build alliances, which is what we are doing with the Communard Union. We have to reach out to every corner of the country and work with the potential of each commune. We have to develop a political, economic, and social force, so that nothing can bring down the communal project.

We will not let anybody take our dream away from us... That commitment comes with many sacrifices.

VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT AND GUAIDÓ OPPOSITION BEGIN 'CONSTRUCTIVE' NEGOTIATIONS IN MEXICO

Domestically, the dialogue initiative has been backed by the near-entire spectrum of opposition and pro-government parties, with two-time losing presidential candidate Henrique Capriles stating that “the great winner will be Venezuela.”

Within Venezuela’s grassroots, however, the government-opposition thaw has split opinions, with many voicing their discontent at any potential concessions as well as likening the dealings to the Punto Fijo power-sharing pact of 1958.

APR leading member Rafael Uzcátegui was quick to criticize the negotiations, claiming that “the Maduro-Guaidó, Guaidó-Maduro [talks] are incomprehensible,” forming “another part of the absurdity” of the political class’ gameplay.

VENEZUELA: MADURO RESHUFFLES CABINET, ARREAZA REPLACED AS FOREIGN MINISTER

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced cabinet changes after a number of ministers were chosen as candidates for the November 21 “mega-elections.”

The most notorious shakeup was the appointment of Felix Plasencia, the nation's ambassador to China since October 2020, as the new foreign affairs minister. The diplomat will replace Jorge Arreaza, who has held the post since August 2017 and is a popular figure with grassroots and international solidarity movements.

VENEZUELA'S GANGS HAVE BEEN TURNED INTO ARMED CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES (PART I)

In July, security forces carried out a three-day anti-gang operation in the Cota 905 barrio of Caracas after an uptick in violence in the working-class district. The Operation, which caught the headlines of the global media, involved 2500 security personnel and left 22 gang members dead and 28 wounded.

Government sources claim links between the leaders of the “mega-gangs” and far-right groups and regime change paramilitary activities stemming from Colombia. Opposition spokespersons have denied any involvement.

Part I of this two-part interview with criminologist Andrés Antillano looks at some of the historical transformations that gangs have been subject to in light of changing relations with the state and the recessionary economy.

The cabinet reshuffle follows the August 8 United Socialist Party of Venezuela’s (PSUV) internal primaries where high-ranking officials were elected candidates for the November 21 regional and local contests. Carmen Meléndez and Eduardo Piñate leave their ministry posts to race for the Caracas mayoralty and Apure governorship, respectively. Maduro called them to "consolidate a great victory" in the upcoming mega-elections.

In that order, President Maduro appointed Admiral Remigio Ceballos as the new interior, justice and peace minister in replacement of Meléndez, while Yelitze Santaella will be in charge of the education portfolio, taking Piñate's place. Santaella lost her primary contest in Monagas state.
