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.
