London: Hands Off Venezuela Conference 2011 – 21/5/11
As
advanced capitalist countries embark on austerity programs, cutting
spending on health care, education, increasing tuition fees, etc.
Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution has massively increased spending in
health care, created hundreds of thousands of free university places and
stood up to the pressures of imperialism.
As a result, it has earned the wrath of Washington and the local
oligarchy who organised several attempts to re…move the democratically
elected president Hugo Chavez through military coup, economic sabotage,
bosses lock out, etc.
The September 26, 2010 elections gave the Socialist United Party of
Venezuela (PSUV) a renewed majority in the National Assembly, but with a
reduced vote. Next year’s presidential elections will be crucial for
the future of the revolution.
Come and hear more about Venezuela’s revolution. Speakers from Venezuela and Britain. Plenty of time for debate and discussion.
