VENEZUELAN WORKERS MOBILIZE FOR WAGE REFORMS & AGAINST LABOR PERSECUTION
Campaign organizers claim that state security forces have arrested as many as 150 workers’ leaders, as groupings including the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), International Marxist Tendency (CMI) and Socialism and Liberty Party (PSL) demanded “an end to criminalization of those who struggle for their labor rights.” While the march was not backed by the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV), some rank and file members did support it.
“They [the workers] were arrested for denouncing corruption, fighting for their rights or opposing privatization (…) With workers behind bars there can be no Merry Christmas or Happy New Year,” League of Socialist Workers (LTS) spokesman Ángel Arias told those present.

VENEZUELA SALUTES FSLN VICTORY AS NEW US SANCTIONS LOOM OVER NICARAGUA
In echoes of the US’ strategy for regime change in Venezuela, the RENACER Act also calls for increased coordination with the European Union and Canada and increased scrutiny of international lending to Managua. Restrictions on Caracas’ access to multilateral financial institutions have led to some of the most punishing consequences, restrictions that infamously caused delayed deliveries of life-saving Covid-19 vaccines.
A senior State Department official told Reuters on Tuesday that the Biden administration intends to impose new unilateral sanctions on the Central American "very soon."

VENEZUELA: OIL OUTPUT REACHES 18-MONTH HIGH FOLLOWING NEW ALLIANCE WITH IRAN
The October figure represents an 18-month high after a 500,000 bpd average in 2020. However, the uptick is still dramatically shy from the 1.9 million bpd that Venezuela registered in mid 2017 before US sanctions targeted the oil sector and sent it into a steep decline.
In efforts to oust the Nicolás Maduro government, the former Trump administration imposed financial sanctions, an oil embargo, and secondary sanctions while blacklisting shipping companies, threatening intermediaries and seizing US-based Venezuelan oil refinery CITGO. The current Joe Biden White House has kept all measures in place.

VENEZUELA'S EL SISTEMA ATTEMPTS 'LARGEST ORCHESTRA' GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
Guinness World Records authorities have ten days to decide if the effort broke the current record set in 2019 when 8,097 musicians played the Russian national anthem in Saint Petersburg.
“It is a gigantic challenge, of course, a very complicated challenge, but [one] full of great pride, of great passion,” main orchestra conductor Andrés Ascanio said. Ascanio went on to remind those present that “what we are seeing here is a minimal representation of what we are: We are 1,012,000 children and youths in El Sistema,” as the System of Youth Symphonic Orchestras and Choirs is commonly known.

In the face of the attempt to repeat the neoliberal recipe of the 1980s – which comes with great suffering for the people and loss of sovereignty – the APR and the PCV have put forth an alternative political proposal: the defense of social and labor rights, which are at the center of our political agenda.
In contrast, the PSUV leadership coincides with the right-wing opposition when they say that those of us who make proposals in favor of the people – such as the demand for a living wage as established in the constitution – as demagogy or ultra-leftism. This is proof that the leadership of the governing party has ceased to represent the interests of the people and is siding with private capital.
