Marcos García, the second secretary in charge of Labor Affairs at the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Washington, D.C., spoke to a gathering of sympathizers of the Bolivarian Revolution in a meeting Dec. 11 at the Solidarity Center in New York.

García, who is also a leader of the Metro de Caracas Worker’s Trade Union, spoke about the current situation in Venezuela following the rejection in the Dec. 2 referendum of the proposed reforms to the Venezuelan Constitution. Without making a formal presentation, García answered many questions about the referendum, the state of the Revolution and of the trade union movement in his country.
