🇻🇪🗣 INTERVIEW 🗣🇻🇪
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.

El Maizal Commune lies in the fertile lands between the Lara and Portuguesa states in western Venezuela. Founded in 2009, this rural commune has become an important political and economic force in both the region and the country.

VENEZUELA RELINQUISHES STAKE IN DOMINICAN REFINERY, RECLAIMS DEBT
Following the swap, the Dominican government bought the Refidomsa shares from PATSA “for the same agreed price,” a reported US $88.1 million, to own the enterprise entirely.
The agreed compensation fell well short of the $135 million PDVSA paid in 2010, under former President Hugo Chávez’s government. The 49 percent stake had been acquired as part of the Chávez-led regional integration program PetroCaribe, which provided crude at preferential prices to Caribbean countries to boost development. As part of the agreement with Refidomsa, Venezuela would process its heavy crude in the Dominican 34,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery. The partnership ended in 2015 after a global oil price drop forced Venezuela to wind down its project.

The Cota 905 gang (or one of its bosses) had begun to develop an idea about not only functioning like a company but also as a social movement. It was looking to bring together all the gangs in Caracas to pressure the government to negotiate certain conditions, a kind of criminal syndicate, a union of the outlaws of Caracas.
This idea had nothing to do with business or profitability, which, in fact, are contradictory objectives... Perhaps that's what caused the gang to fail [in its confrontation with the police]. Maybe the Cota 905 gang expected a response from their allies and believed that the government wouldn’t dare to do what it did.

The government of Nicolás Maduro asked the ICC to open an investigation into alleged crimes against humanity committed by the government of the United States of America against Venezuela through the use of unilateral coercive measures, commonly referred to as sanctions, on February 13, 2020. The investigation is presently in “phase 2” where the ICC prosecutor will determine if there is a legal basis for a full enquiry.
As part of her presentation, Rodríguez demonstrated statements by US institutions and officials that she deemed “confessions” that served as proof that officials knew that the measures would have a negative impact on the civilian population.

In recent years, Washington has ramped up its regime-change efforts against Caracas through a wide-reaching, devastating economic blockade. In particular, the US Treasury Department has levied a raft of measures targeting Venezuela's oil sector in an attempt to starve the country of foreign income. The unilateral sanctions have crippled the country's most important industry.
In the following infographic, designed by Utopix's Kael Abello, we detail the US sanctions against the oil industry and the resulting fall in output.
