Alex Saab and Nicolas Maduro
Observing the US naval maneuvers in Caribbean waters and the provocations and threats against Bolivarian Venezuela by Trump’s second administration, a similar episode during the tycoon’s first term comes to mind. We are referring to November 2020, when the United States deployed a warship—the missile cruiser USS San Jacinto—off the coast of Cape Verde: to prevent, according to the New York Times, “the regime” in Venezuela and Iran (and later Russia) from attempting to free Alex Saab, the Venezuelan diplomat who was kidnapped and tortured for trying to break the economic siege on Venezuela by importing food and medicine. This was at the height of COVID-19, a global pandemic. (more…)

On September 11, the day that commemorated Pinochet’s coup d’état in Chile against the socialist government of Salvador Allende 52 years ago, in the European Parliament, what can rightly be considered a new Nazi-fascist (and Zionist) international once again bared its teeth against Bolivarian socialism. With 355 votes in favor, 173 against, and 15 abstentions, MEPs effectively approved a resolution proposed by the Spanish party Vox and the Patriots for Europe group to include the so-called Cartel of the Suns, which the far right claims is led by Nicolás Maduro, on the list of terrorist organizations. The text also included the Clan del Golfo and dissident factions of the Colombian guerrilla groups, the FARC and the ELN, noting that they all pose a threat to regional and international security.
