International - Event Notice Thursday January 01 1970 Meetings in support of the Venezuelan Revolution
The Venezuelan Revolution has entered a new stage. After the election of December 2006, which the Bolivarian Movement won with 63% of the votes, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias proposed the unification of the different parties that constitute the Bolivarian Movement (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela – PSUV). He also launched the government’s new programme (“the five engines for Socialism”) with the intention of starting the transition to socialism and the Socialist Republic of Venezuela.

Dublin: 8th October 2007, 7:30pm, Connolly Books New Theatre (Essex St., Temple Bar, Dublin 1)
Belfast: 10th October 2007, 7:30pm, An Cultúrlann (Falls Road)
The Venezuelan Revolution has entered a new stage. After the election of December 2006, which the Bolivarian Movement won with 63% of the votes, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias proposed the unification of the different parties that constitute the Bolivarian Movement (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela – PSUV). He also launched the government’s new programme (“the five engines for Socialism”) with the intention of starting the transition to socialism and the Socialist Republic of Venezuela.
The Venezuelan working class is clearly at the forefront of the international struggle for socialism.
The revolution, however, has still to succeed. The mammoth and highly bureaucratic state apparatus inherited from the past and the international pressure from the imperialist countries and their corporations have still to be defeated.
An example of the obstacles facing the Venezuelan revolution is the long and difficult struggle of the workers of Sanitarios Maracay, who are running the factory, to get the state to expropriate the factory. This struggle is not over yet.
Jorge Martin, International secretary of Hands Off Venezuela Campaign, and Carlos Fiorillo, member of the PSUV (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela) and Hands Off Venezuela – Ireland, will speak at both the Dublin and Belfast meetings.
Carlos will give an overview of the programme of the government, known as “the five engines for socialism”.
Jorge will give a general overview of the new stage which the revolution has entered in Venezuela.
The Venezuelan revolution needs the support of the Irish working class. This can be best done by organising or joining support groups in Ireland; by joining or linking up with the international campaign ‘Hands off Venezuela’; and by fighting for Socialism in Ireland.
Organisers:
Venezuela Support Group, Ireland
Hands Off Venezuela, Ireland (handsoffvenezuelaireland@yahoo.ie)

Real participative democracy as opposed to the representative democracy we have in this country i.e. you tick a box every few years and pretend you have power. What a con we live in.
The problem is that with real democracy comes real responsibilty and most people just couldn't be bothered.
Good luck to the people of Venezuela and what they are trying to achieve, it's a pity we have sold our democracy to the EU fascist state. Our nation is gone and most people don't even see it or just couldn't care less. I still remember when we had our own country before we were dictated to by the fascisits in europe.
Is nothing more than another Mugabe in waiting. another tinpot tyrant that old Bolshies support enthusiastically. Hugo will eventually turn on the Venezuelan Peoples, like every other tyrant from Pol Pot, to Castro.
Chavez is a 21st century Mussolini walt, nothing more
should be quite informative . The Bolivarian revolution must continue to be advanced and explained in the face of repeated propaganda offensives against it from both right and left .
such as this recent rubbish .
