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."

Popular organizations in Páez municipality further denounced that a group of 50 armed combatants “took-over” the La Gabarra sector of Guasdualito, as well as the Gran Unión and Víctor Díaz Ojeda communes, on Friday.

VENEZUELA: GASOLINE AND CRUDE PRODUCTION ON THE RISE WHILE INFLATION SLOWS DOWN
Venezuela has lifted gasoline production with four major refineries back online.
State oil company PDVSA is currently producing almost 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) of gasoline, local sources told Reuters. The number is an important jump from the 82,000 bpd reported at the end of last year. If the higher output continues it would successfully cover domestic demand which currently stands at around 110,000 bpd.

VENEZUELAN ELECTORAL COUNCIL SETS RECALL REFERENDUM PROCESS IN MOTION
According to Article 72 of the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution, voters may revoke a public official’s term once said official has served half of their term. In order to trigger the vote, the petitioners must secure valid signatures comprising 20 percent of the electorate that voted for the official, in this case from the national voter list. The recall referendum must then see over 25 percent of eligible voters take part, and the official is recalled if there are more votes for it than he/she received when elected.
The CNE vowed to release a schedule for the different steps in the coming days. If a successful recall vote is held before January 10, 2023, it will trigger a snap presidential election within a 30-day lapse. If it happens after, the vice president will take over as president for the remainder of the term.

Today marks 85 years since Venezuela’s first oil workers’ strike ended. The protest is considered the country’s first large-scale working-class uprising and the start of the anti-imperialist struggle against foreign companies’ theft and exploitation.
Venezuela would go on to become a key fixture in Washington's foreign policy.

#Antiimperialism #Strike #OilStrike
On January 23, 1958, Venezuela woke up to joyous news: the US-backed dictatorial regime of Marcos Pérez Jiménez had finally fallen.
The decade-long dictatorship was characterized by corruption and brutal repression of political opponents. However, Pérez Jiménez’s anti-communist crusade and favorable conditions granted to foreign oil companies won him the backing of the United States.
The general’s regime began in 1950 when he was a member of the military junta installed after the 1948 coup d'état. In 1952, he declared himself president with full dictatorial powers after canceling adverse electoral results.
In December 1957, the dictator held a fraudulent plebiscite in order to maintain power. This was the onset of the civic-military uprising that took place between January 1-23, 1958, which left around 300 people dead and more than 1,000 wounded. Despite the significant losses, crowds danced in the streets of Caracas following Pérez Jiménez’s downfall.
However, the celebrations did not last long. Only days before the general fell, the country's traditional political parties had signed a deal to alternate power. The agreement was sealed in the presence of then-US State Department Chief of Latin American Affairs, Maurice Bergbaum and ratified on Oct 31, 1958, with the "Punto Fijo Pact.”
"January 23 was a change of names. The exploiting oligarchy, the servers of imperialism were immediately accommodated into the new government. Political power remains in the hands of the same interests,” said revolutionary leader Fabricio Ojeda, a key figure in the insurrection, who would go on to lead the guerilla struggle.
The Puntofijismo pseudodemocracy showed its cracks in the 1989 "Caracazo" uprising and the 1992 military rebellion led by Hugo Chávez. These episodes opened the path for Chávez’s victory in the 1998 presidential election, which inaugurated the Bolivarian Revolution.
Funny tidbit: Venezuelans were so fed up with Washington's meddling that crowds stoned US Vice President Richard Nixon's car when he visited Caracas on May 13, 1958.

"The inflationary curve hasn’t decelerated because there are more dollars available than before. In fact, inflation in Venezuela has decelerated because the attack on the bolívar is less intense now.
Neither the number of bolívares circulating nor the supply of foreign currency are key factors accounting for Venezuela’s inflationary trend. The bolívar’s fluctuations depend on the overt attacks coming from the US.
To the question, “Why has the inflationary spiral been contained?” I would answer: the attack on the bolívar slowed down, and that is why inflation is somewhat lower."
