VENEZUELA: GUAIDÓ WEAKENED AFTER COLOMBIA TAKES OVER TROUBLED AGROCHEMICAL COMPANY

Colombia’s Corporation Superintendency retained control over Venezuelan state-owned Monómeros Colombo-Venezolanos, S.A. after a series of mismanagement scandals by self-proclaimed “Interim President” Juan Guaidó and his allies.

The troubled Colombia-based agrochemical producer is considered Venezuela’s second most important foreign-held asset and was handed over to the hardline Venezuelan opposition following the self-proclamation of Guaidó as “interim president” in 2019. Since coming under control of the opposition, Monómeros has been plagued by scandals and corruption allegations, with different factions clashing over the running of the company.

VENEZUELAN GOV'T DEMANDS ALEX SAAB RELEASE, RETURN OF STOLEN ASSETS TO RESUME MEXICO TALKS

Venezuelan National Assembly (AN) President Jorge Rodríguez reiterated that the dialogue process in Mexico will restart once government envoy Alex Saab is released by Washington and the US-backed opposition returns seized foreign assets.

"Enough hypocrisy. If you want dialogue, release Alex Saab. If you want dialogue, return our assets abroad and our gold [withheld by the Bank of England] which you stole,” Rodríguez stated on Wednesday during an AN session to inaugurate the 2022 legislative period.

EDUCATING FOR THE FUTURE: HOW THE CHE GUEVARA COMMUNE CONFRONTS THE CRISIS (PART III)

The Che Guevara Commune lies on the fertile hillsides that rise up from the shores of Lake Maracaibo in western Venezuela. Historically this has been a cocoa-growing region but in more recent years coffee, sugar cane, and pineapple have also become important cash crops.

Part I of this three-part series looked at the Che Guevara Commune’s creative responses to US sanctions while Part II addressed the democratic organization of labor at the commune’s two main production centers. In this third and final part, we look at the commune’s efforts to provide social assistance to the community at a time when the sanctions are interfering with educational and health services in the country.

VENEZUELA: GUAIDÓ WEAKENED AFTER COLOMBIA TAKES OVER TROUBLED AGROCHEMICAL COMPANY

On September 3, 2021, Colombia’s Corporation Superintendency issued a resolution to assume control of Monómeros. Colombian law allows the corporate watchdog to employ such a process when an enterprise is in a critical “judicial, accounting, economic or administrative” situation.

The Venezuelan opposition-appointed board appealed the Colombian regulator’s decision and vowed to reach agreements directly with creditors.

The watchdog rejected that appeal and on December 30, 2021 ratified its decision to assume control over the corporation, arguing that conditions inside the company had not sufficiently improved and was still at the risk of insolvency. According to Colombian sources, the firm’s debt to suppliers stood at more than US $30 million in mid 2021.

VENEZUELAN GOV'T DEMANDS ALEX SAAB RELEASE, RETURN OF STOLEN ASSETS TO RESUME MEXICO TALKS

The former vice president likewise linked the government-opposition dialogue's future with Alex Saab’s release. “Do not propose dialogue to later attack it as the United States Department of Justice did by kidnapping Saab, a Venezuelan diplomat and member of our delegation in Mexico," reaffirmed Rodríguez, who led the government representatives in the talks.

Norway-brokered negotiations in Mexico City between the Maduro administration and the US-backed opposition came to a halt last year following Colombo-Venezuelan businessman Alex Saab’s extradition to the United States. The talks were due to enter their fourth round on October 17, a day after the extradition to Florida happened.

VENEZUELA: PSUV LOSES BARINAS TO OPPOSITION IN ELECTION RE-RUN

Barinas residents were forced to take to the polls again after the November 21 results were annulled by the TSJ nine days later. According to the ruling, Democratic Unity Roundtable’s (MUD) Freddy Superlano ̶ who was leading incumbent PSUV governor Argenis Chávez by 0.4% at the time ̶ had been barred from holding public office by the ombudsman in August 2020. The cause of the disqualification was not made public and electoral authorities claimed to not be aware of the measure.

Unofficial estimates indicate that both Garrido and Arreaza increased their parties’ counts on Sunday by roughly 70,000 and 26,000, respectively, with smaller blocs such as the moderate-right Democratic Alliance losing out. Participation rose from 45% to 51%.

UNCONVENTIONIAL WARFARE AGAINST VENEZUELA: A CONVERSATION WITH PASCUALINA CURCIO (PART I)

"We are in the context of an economic war that is not limited to the unilateral and coercive measures against our country. The attacks on the bolívar also affect our production significantly and the economy as a whole.

It is true that the economy has shrunken, and we acknowledge it. However, the attack on the bolívar acts internally. Let me explain: when imperialism attacks a currency, the monetary scale changes. What happens is a kind of monetary hallucination inside the economy."
