Yesterday, VA reported that 200 migrants had been repatriated as part of the government's Return to the Homeland program after suffering xenophobia in Chile.

How do you evaluate the program's repatriation rate of 0.46% of the diaspora community?

THE VENEZUELANALYSIS PODCAST EPISODE 02: POPULAR POWER UNDER DURESS

The corporate media coverage of Venezuela has always placed its focus on Chávez and Maduro, what the government did or said. This narrative, and the respective counter-narrative, ignore one key element of the Bolivarian Process: popular power.

The second episode of the Venezuelanalysis podcast focuses on grassroots organizations under conditions of duress: a years-long economic crisis and devastating US sanctions.

BORRELL 'INTERVENTIONISM' PUTS EU NOVEMBER ELECTORAL MISSION TO VENEZUELA AT RISK

Borrell’s comments at the New Economic Forum also sparked a diplomatic storm surrounding the upcoming 11-member EU mission to accompany Venezuela’s November 21 regional and local elections. During his speech, the diplomat claimed that it will be the EU report and not Venezuelan votes which “will legitimize the Maduro government or not.”

Finally, the Spanish politician controversially admitted that the electoral mission looks to safeguard conditions for the rightwing forces instead of impartially accompanying the process.

VENEZUELA DENOUNCES US-COLOMBIA 'FALSE FLAG' PLOT AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL

Venezuela’s representative to the United Nations (UN) denounced an alleged “false flag” plot by the United States and Colombia at the Security Council (UNSC) and warned that Colombian government is seeking to involve Venezuela in the country’s long-running internal conflict.

“The Colombian State authorities are convinced that the repetition of a false warmongering narrative is sufficient argument to prepare an aggression against Venezuela, in alliance with the government of the United States of America,” wrote Venezuelan Ambassador Samuel Moncada.

VENEZUELA DENOUNCES US-COLOMBIA 'FALSE FLAG' PLOT AT UN SECURITY COUNCIL

In an eight-page letter to Security Council President and Kenyan Representative Martin Kimani, Moncada detailed recent “bellicose” statements by Colombian President Iván Duque alongside others by high-ranking Colombian authorities.

“The aforementioned statements show that the four (04) main spokespersons for the Colombian State and its military chain of command try to systematically involve the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the long internal war in Colombia,” wrote Moncada.

VENEZUELA: TENSIONS BOIL IN GUAIDÓ CAMP OVER TROUBLED PETROCHEMICAL SUBSIDIARY MONÓMEROS

Colombia-based agrochemical producer Monómeros remains at risk as Venezuelan hardline opposition factions clash over the running of the corruption-mired company.

The latest round of infighting was sparked by self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaidó, who issued a decree ordering Monómeros’ restructuring, with current general manager Guillermo Rodríguez Laprea being removed immediately. The statement published on October 5 announced a commission charged with finding qualified candidates to replace the firm’s board in less than a month.

VENEZUELA: TENSIONS BOIL IN GUAIDÓ CAMP OVER TROUBLED PETROCHEMICAL SUBSIDIARY MONÓMEROS

In June, the company’s labor union accused Laprea of fixing contracts, bulking the payroll with unnecessary advisors and raising selected employees’ salaries without justification. The outgoing general manager is the fifth in the post since May 2019, when Monómeros and a number of other foreign assets were handed to Guaidó following recognition from Washington and allies of his administration.

The four-page text published by Guaidó on Twitter was allegedly subjected to a vote during the opposition-controlled National Assembly (AN) most recent Zoom session. Although the body’s term ended in January 2021, it continues operating as part of the US-backed “interim government.”

US EXTRADITION OF ALEX SAAB BLOCKS GOV'T-OPPOSITION NEGOTIATIONS IN MEXICO

The Venezuelan government suspended negotiations with the US-backed Juan Guaidó opposition on Saturday following Alex Saab’s extradition to the United States.

Government envoy Saab was detained on an Interpol warrant in July 2020 on a stop-off in Cape Verde reportedly en route to the Middle East to close food import deals for the Latin American government. Caracas recently appointed the businessman as a delegate at the Mexico-based talks, which were due to enter their fourth round the day after his extradition. US authorities had previously endorsed the dialogue.

US EXTRADITION OF ALEX SAAB BLOCKS GOV'T-OPPOSITION NEGOTIATIONS IN MEXICO

Following Saab’s extradition, chief government negotiator Jorge Rodríguez announced the “suspension” of his team’s participation in the talks in protest against the “illegal and inhumane” move. It is unclear if the government plans on returning to the table in the future.

On Monday, the Colombian-born magnate had his request for bail rejected by Southern District of Florida Judge John O’Sullivan during a 15-minute preliminary hearing via Zoom. The arraignment session was fixed for November 1. Over three hundred people reportedly watched Monday’s hearing, including Guaidó’s US representative Carlos Vecchio and allied Deputy Carlos Paparoni. Saab’s US lawyer, Henry Bell, is yet to comment on the case.

VENEZUELA PREPARES RETURN TO CLASSROOMS AS TEACHERS' UNIONS CALL FOR PRUDENCE

President Nicolás Maduro announced the government’s strategy to resume in-person classes for nearly 9 million students by the end of the month, though teachers’ unions argued for a gradual return instead.

Dubbed the “Bicentennial Victory” plan, the government’s strategy includes provisions for biosecurity measures but also calls on civil society groups to help convince students to return to school after an 18-month absence due to pandemic-related measures.

ADVOCACY GROUPS BLAST US TREASURY SANCTIONS REVIEW FOR FAILING TO ADDRESS CIVILIAN HARM

US-based advocacy groups have criticized the US Treasury Department for conducting a sanctions policy review that failed to address these measures' harmful impact on millions of people worldwide.

In a joint press release published on Tuesday, three organizations noted that the seven-page review “at no point considers how sanctions hurt millions of human beings as a result of the dire effect [...] on entire economies.” Instead, the text focuses on how to “strengthen or modernize” the unilateral measures and link them to a “policy objective.”

VENEZUELA PREPARES RETURN TO CLASSROOMS AS TEACHERS' UNIONS CALL FOR PRUDENCE

The head of the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers, Orlando Alzuru, said that schools and teachers may not be prepared for a return of the entire student population at once.

“It cannot be 100% of the students, it must be evaluated in parallel with the pandemic,” Alzuru told local media.

Alzuru said most education workers did not respond to a call in September for a return for administrative tasks and a sizable portion of teachers had not yet been vaccinated.

BARRIO CULTURE & SOCIAL PREJUDICES: A CONVERSATION WITH OTRO BETA (PART II)

Otro Beta is a self-organized project aimed at youth from Venezuela’s barrios. The project’s new emphases include technical education and counseling for victims of machista violence. Through a variety of approaches, Otro Beta has always sought to bring the barrio youth out of the dead-ends that capitalism imposes on them. Today Otro Beta has almost three hundred cells or “confluence points” and eight Socialist Endogenous Development Nuclei spread throughout the country.

We met with three key Otro Beta organizers in the populous Petare barrio in eastern Caracas. In part I of this interview we talked about the origins of Otro Beta. Here we focus on education and the concept of “territorialization.”
