    Wenezuela w mediach

    Trudno jest zdobyc informacje po polsku o tym, co dzieje sie w Wenezueli. Polskie media publikuja nieduzo, a obraz Wenezueli, ktory wylania sie z tych publikacji jest uproszczony i tendencyjny. Jako Polka mieszkajaca w Caracas, staram sie “prostowac” i “doswietlac” aspekty, ktore polskim mediom umykaja.

  • INSURGENTES against Venezuela´s constitutional reform
    by babel ryba on 2007-11-20 00:53, replies: 1, translation: fr es, related to: Venezuela

    image 4624 Various organizations and individuals within Venezuela, each with a history of social struggle and each bringing with them diverse proposals from the anti-authoritarian and critical left, have assembled in the space of INSURGENTES (INSURGENTS) to forge a position against the proposed constitutional “reform” offered by the republic’s President, Hugo Chavez Frias.

    Constitutions, in all countries, invariably reflect the power relations that exist between societies different social classes. Today’s proposed “reform” simply confirms the victory obtained by transnational capital during the coup and petrol sabotage of 2002-2003 which created Mixed Businesses and has led to the handover of vast new mineral and petroleum concessions to foreign capital.

    The President’s “reform” proposals, the modifications passed by the National Assembly and all of the other m…

  • COALITION FOR ANIMAL FREEDOM
    by guest on 2007-10-04 13:39, related to: Venezuela, animal rights

    To: International Environmental Institutions

    We, the undersigned, members of an international coalition of many NGOs, biologists and activists concerned for the welfare of wild animals, are writing to express our grave concerns on behalf of Venezuelan decision in Margarita Island (Nueva Esparta State) to authorize and support the operation of a zoo and aquarium inside the facilities of the amusement complex made up by the Dolphinarium Waterland Mundo Submarino – Marino and Diverland Park. For the last 15 years, Water Land 's show has generated controversy around the world. In Argentina they took Cheryl (a Russian dolphin) away from Mr. Ric O’Barry, against the decision of a court order that gave him the permit to transport and release that dolphin. The company ran away with Cheryl and then in 1997 the dolphin died because of stress in Margarita Island, inside their facilities.

    In Guatemala in 2001, Dolphins Ariel and Turbo were abandoned in a filthy dug out hole with no filtration …

  • Cruelty to Animals In the WaterLand (Mundo Marino) Circuses (Margarita, Venezuela)

    Many animals deaths have been denied and buried inside a mechanical park… we claimed for justice and instead the Environmental Ministry [of Venezuela] gave the company the permit for a zoo and they caught more than 150 animals around the island to put them inside the amusement park, full of concrete, many animals have died so far… Now Mr. O’Barry have let us show to all the dark side of that company to ask for justice of all those animals that have died in that park… in those hands… please do not let more animals to die and suffer in that terrible company.

  • Venezuela today: complexities and outright lies
    by guest on 2007-09-23 00:08, translation: pl, related to: Venezuela

    * A member of the editorial collective of El Libertario (www.nodo50.org/ellibertario; in Spanish & English) prepared this article for the 6th edition of the Costa Rican (A) journal La Libertad [September 2007; http://revistalalibertad.blogspot.com] in response to an inconsistent effort to establish impossible affinities between Chavism and Anarchism.

    1) One of the successes of the inter-bourgeois confrontation that has been happening in Venezuela for almost a decade is the moving of the media polarization into an international space. This biased and infantilized point of view could well confuse some less awakened libertarian spirits. This indeed seems to be the case with the opinions voiced by companero Rogelio Cedeno in his text ‘Venezuela today: Realities and half truths’, published in # 5 of the Costa Rican journal La Libertad. Cedeno in a turnabout of intellectual prestidigitation asks for the social situation in Costa Rica precisely what he denies for that of Venezuela: a …

  • Venezuela: Conspiración y Poder
    by babel ryba on 2007-09-01 23:50, translation: pl, related to: Venezuela

    El veterano revolucionario Enrique Contreras retrata el ambiente que se respira dentro del PSUV

    Por los vientos que soplan, el panorama político cada día se agita más, pero esa agitación a la que me refiero, no es a la que estamos acostumbrados a ver, es decir, una caravanita aquí, una marcha allá, unas declaraciones de figurones que fueron gobierno -entre otras cosas- a lo que me refiero es al descontento interno de sectores calificados de la Fuerza Armada, tanto de la derecha como de la izquierda, la misma se encuentra dividida y todo parece indicar que lo único que se cuadro con Chávez es la cúpula de estos sectores.

    Me contó “Guadachi” que dentro del PSUV, hay una conspiración terrible, sobre todo de la gente que se fue de PODEMOS, para ingresar al partido único, más sin embargo, los que fueron dirección en V República, saben que las cosas internas no están bien, que la conspiración por el poder se encuentra en…

  • Manifesto of solidarity with Venezuelan anarchists and social movements
    by guest on 2007-08-04 16:37, translation: es, related to: Venezuela

    * The newspaper Tierra y Libertad, mouthpiece of the Iberian Anarchist Federation, published in edition 227 of June 2007 this manifesto of the International of Anarchist Federations (IAF-IFA; www.iaf-ifa.org) in support of those who in Venezuela today confront the bureaucratic capitalist project of the Chavez government as well as their social democrat and right wing opponents.

    In the first three months of 2007, 23 popular demonstrations were repressed by the Venezuelan government and 99 activists were detained. This fact speaks of the growing unease as well as the criminalization of social struggle in this Latin-American country, in a reality masked by the propaganda and mystification of a regime that paints itself as the vanguard of ‘21st Century socialism’ with the support of different groupings and persons associated with the authoritarian left throughout the world.

    However, those who are concerned with the real situation of the oppressed and exploited in Venezuela know th…

  • Refuting the Deaf: Chavism and Anarchism in Venezuela
    by guest on 2007-07-31 22:39, translation: es, related to: Venezuela

    source

    • From the publishers of El Libertario goes our reply to the habitual expressions that the coarse right or the easy-going left used to attribute us; the same left that, inside and outside of Venezuela allows that the mirage of the Chávez pseudo-revolution impressed them. We could and would like to say very much more about this subject, however currently here there is the essential and concise information about our point of view that, even when it was expressed several times it does not implies that it does not have to be repeated.

    – Hugo Chávez talks about socialism, popular sovereignty and participation. So, why posing disappointments if those ideals agree with anarchism?

    The rouses of Chávez are so diverse. However, he himself has expressed that we have to pay attention on what he does, even on what he says. In this sense, his ‘Twenty One Century Socialism’ would not become more t…

    º Hola El Libertario...
