VENEZUELA REJECTS US AND CANADIAN EFFORTS TO DISCREDIT ELECTIONS
The Venezuelan process was accompanied by international groups such as National Lawyers Guild (NLG) whose members said they “observed a balanced and transparent voting process” and rejected the Washington’s characterization of the vote.
“The US’s consistently false narrative of elections in Venezuela is formulated to legitimize the continuation of U.S. sanctions, which are violations of international law and amount to economic warfare,” said Suzanne Adely, NLG President and member of the delegation, on Wednesday.

VENEZUELA: NEWLY ELECTED OPPOSITION MAYORS ATTACK COMMUNITY RADIO STATIONS
On Wednesday, community members from La Azulita town located in Mérida’s Andrés Bello municipality accused elected mayor María Villasmil, from the moderate opposition bloc Democratic Alliance, of arbitrarily trying to close the Radio La Azulita 107.3 FM station.
In a video spread on Twitter, the radio’s operators and neighbors are seen stopping Villasmil and a group of people from taking over the station. “We have an autonomous judicial status,” a woman explained, while others confronted the newly elected officer for the intimidation attempt and targeting a community-run space.

Venezuela recently held "mega-elections" to elect governors, mayors, regional legislators and local councilors. The US-backed hardline opposition returned to the ballot after years of boycotts, but its results were underwhelming. Chavista forces secured huge majorities, winning 19 of 23 governorships and 212 of 335 mayoralties.
In this infographic, designed by Kael Abello, we break down the electoral results and put them in perspective compared to past contests. We also examine the current political landscape and look ahead to future races.

MUSIC BRINGS DOWN WALLS: A CONVERSATION WITH SANDINO PRIMERA
In Venezuela today, there are no record labels producing albums with the kind of content that we produce. In fact, there are practically no record labels! That forces us to look for ways to produce and finance the whole process – from pre-production, recording, and editing to live concerts and music videos (which are very important nowadays).
We have had to learn a great deal, from technical sound production and instrumental execution, video, and photography, to sound and visual effects, and so on.
These are difficult times for those of us who don’t conform to the precepts of the music industry, but I have enjoyed the support of many friends, institutions, private initiatives with social responsibility. All that is very important, but it is also ephemeral... That's why we constantly struggle for economic independence.

VENEZUELA'S MADURO REACHES OUT TO ELECTED OPPOSITION LEADERS, CALLS FOR UNITY
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has called for unity following last week’s “mega-elections.”
Speaking Sunday, the president extended an invitation to a “good yield” of elected opposition governors and mayors to visit the Presidential Palace and discuss “specific problems in their states and municipalities.” Among those invited was Manuel Rosales, who ran against Maduro’s predecessor Hugo Chávez in 2006 and was re-elected Zulia state governor last Sunday.

[UPDATED] VENEZUELA'S MADURO REACHES OUT TO ELECTED OPPOSITION LEADERS, CALLS FOR UNITY
EU observers are currently centered in Venezuela’s Barinas state, where CNE authorities are under pressure after the Supreme Court (TSJ) ordered the ballot be held again.
According to the ruling on Monday, last Sunday’s results, which the TSJ claims narrowly favored MUD politician Freddy Superlano, are to be annulled and the vote is to be repeated on January 9, 2022. The ruling follows an earlier one suspending a planned CNE recount, and also stipulates that Superlano was ruled ineligible to hold public office by the comptroller's office on August 17. According to the TSJ, the decision was based on a 2013 ruling, but no further details were offered by either the Supreme Court or comptroller. Electoral authorities had previously established a timeline to review candidates’ eligibility to run which expired in September.

VENEZUELA GREETS XIOMARA CASTRO'S 'HISTORIC MANDATE' IN HONDURAN ELECTION
Venezuela celebrated the victory of Xiomara Castro in Honduras’ general election Sunday that saw the leftist Libre Party secure an overwhelming victory and bring an end to 12 years of National Party rule.
“It is a historic triumph that honors the life and sacrifice of the heroes and martyrs who raised their voices, especially since the disastrous 2009 coup against former President Manuel Zelaya, in the face of an exclusive and neoliberal system that never responded to the most basic need of its population, and that permanently attacked their human and political rights,” read the statement issued in the name of President Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro urged a ramping up of Covid-19 vaccination efforts and condemned the Western countries’ response over the new Omicron variant, first identified in South Africa.
“There is no international scientific report that establishes the real threat of this variant,” said Maduro in a televised broadcast on Sunday. He criticized the United States and European governments for causing a “world scandal” and issuing “political statements” towards African countries in the form of travel bans.

In contrast to other leaders in the region, Castro never made any effort to hide her admiration for Venezuela and the Bolivarian Revolution and thanked Maduro for his words. Castro is married to former President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted in a military coup in 2009 in part due to the ties he developed between Honduras and Venezuela as well as progressive government policies.
Gerardo Torres, international relations secretary for the Libre party, told the BBC that Castro’s government would no longer recognize Juan Guaidó as president of Venezuela as outgoing conservative President Juan Orlando Hernández had done.
