Exciting developments in Venezuela

Published May 28, 2005 8:05 AM

An audience of anti-war and justice activists in Buffalo, N.Y., was full of questions, discussion and hopeful excitement after hearing a presentation May 20 by Betsey Piette of Philadelphia about Venezuela. Piette was a participant in the Third Gathering in Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution, which took place in Venezuela April 13-17.

Piette presented an account of the recent events transforming Venezuela. She described how President Hugo Chávez’s program is gaining greater support not only in Venezuela but throughout Latin America—despite continuing threats from Washington. Videos accompanying her talk showed the determination with which the workers of Venezuela are pushing forward and leftward. The International Action Center sponsored the meeting.
