U.S. groups support Venezuela
Published Jul 1, 2007 11:10 PM
Organizations in solidarity with the changes being made in Venezuela held
a solidarity picket line in front of the Venezuelan Consulate in New York on
June 20.
Their message to the public was that the Venezuelan government’s decision
to allow the license of RCTV—a right-wing television station that
supported the failed 2002 coup against President Hugo Chávez—to
expire should not be used as a pretext to attack the revolutionary process
there. The closing of the television station has become the focus of a virulent
campaign against the Chávez government, whose programs have raised the
social position of the vast majority in the country.
The solidarity picket was called by the Troops Out Now Coalition and supported
by Cuba Solidarity-NY, the Alberto Lovera Bolivarian Circle, the Puerto Rican
Nationalist Party and the International Action Center, which all united to
support President Chávez and Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution in
their efforts to determine their own course of development without U.S.
intervention.
Workers at the Consulate came out to thank the people on the line, saying that
support in the U.S. was critical.
