Holding Covid-19 at bay in Venezuela

Stalin Pérez Borges — 2020-05-16T06:34:13Z

As of May 15, Venezuela is reporting 455 coronavirus infections and just 10 Covid-19 deaths. However, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants in neighboring Columbia and (especially) Brazil are trapped in pandemic hotspots. Thus far, President Nicolás Maduro's government has maintained an effective quarantine regime on the border, preventing the contagion's rapid spread. However, the despreate economic situation, stemming from crippling U.S. sanctions, the collapse in world oil prices, and the regime's economic mismanagement places a question mark over how long the country can fend off the pandemic.[No Borders News]

The Bolivarian Process without Chávez: 2013 a year of uncertainty, 2014 a year of definitions

2014-01-30T15:25:59Z

When on the night of December 8, 2012 Commander Chávez warned something unexpected could happen, many who refused to believe were forced to recognise the gravity of the situation. The Bolivarian process began to live his biggest test in 14 years. A situation that no one wanted pushed us into a time of big challenges. One that would test the ability of the leadership chosen by Chávez to continue the project. The strength of the project itself would also be tested, and above whether it was ready to move forward at pace set by its driving force: the Bolivarian People.

The alliance with the employers is putting brakes on the march towards socialism

Stalin Pérez Borges — 2008-07-31T09:40:35Z

"We reject this “alliance of national unity” because it is counter-productive if we really want to advance towards socialism. It will even be reactionary if it is carried out, because it will weaken the revolutionary process".
