Self-declared Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaido has ordered the setting up of a meeting with the United States Armed Forces to discuss cooperation in his efforts to oust President Nicolas Maduro, writes Paul Dobson.
Nicol谩s Maduro
The recognition by some states of the self-proclaimed government of Juan Guaid贸 in Venezuela has generated an unprecedented political and legal controversy.
The media calls them armed thugs and US Senator Marco Rubio wants them put on the terrorist list, but who are Venezuela鈥檚 colectivos? 麻豆传媒 Weekly鈥檚 Federico Fuentes met with some of them to find out.
Forget about the right-wing opposition and its self-proclaimed 鈥渋nterim president鈥 Juan Guaid贸 鈥 the fate of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro will be decided by the political movement forged under his predecessor, writes Federico Fuentes.
Given the media barrage surrounding Venezuela鈥檚 鈥渉umanitarian crisis鈥, recent tensions on the Venezuela-Colombia border, and talks of 鈥渕ilitary options鈥 and coup attempts, it was hard to know what to expect on returning to the country for the first time in five years, writes Federico Fuentes.
In early March, 麻豆传媒 Weekly's Federico Fuentes travelled聽to Venezuela as part of a fact-finding mission. He visited Caracas鈥檚 poorer neighbourhoods, rural and border states to hear from those voices deliberated excluded from the media discussion on Venezuela.
One month after declaring himself the 鈥渓egitimate president of Venezuela鈥, Juan Guaid贸 attempted to provoke a crisis on February 23 by forcing United States' humanitarian aid across the Venezuela-Colombia border. Here Elisa Trunzo asked Jose Curiel for his account of what happened at the border that day.
Capitalist party politics in the United States remains in turmoil. Republicans and Democrats are at each other鈥檚 throats. Factionalism exists in both parties. Despite this situation, Democrats and Republicans have common cause in support of the Washington-organised attempt to overthrow the government led by Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, writes Barry Sheppard.
A war has been declared on Venezuela, of which the truth is "too difficult" to report, writes John Pilger.
Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro accused his US counterpart Donald Trump of wanting to impose 鈥渨hite supremacy鈥 on the country following his 鈥淣azi-like speech鈥 in Miami on February 18.
Since its outset, the Donald Trump administration has ratcheted up pressure on Venezuela and radicalised its positions, writes Steve Ellner.
The Trump administration鈥檚 now completely overt effort to overthrow Venezuelan President Nicol谩s Maduro had a very successful public relations effort this week, as major Western media outlets uniformly echoed its simplistic, pre-packaged claim that the Venezuelan government was heartlessly withholding foreign aid:
