Event: Supporting Venezuela’s Social Progress - Challenging the Media War Against Chávez

[The Venezuela Information Centre (VIC) have organised an event in London to mark the sixth anniversary of the military coup that briefly overthrew the government of President Hugo Chávez.]

Supporting Venezuela’s Social Progress - Challenging the Media War against Chávez

Wednesday 9 April, 7.00– 8.30pm

Bolivar Hall, 54 Grafton Way, London W1T 5DL (tube: Warren Street)

 

With special guest: H.E. Venezuelan Ambassador Samuel Moncada

This event marks the sixth anniversary of the military coup that attempted to overthrow the government of President Hugo Chávez and to reverse Venezuela’s social gains. Since then there have been ongoing attempts to isolate the Chávez government, including through an international media campaign of disinformation.  This meeting will provide an update on recent events in Venezuela, including the implications of the recent Colombian incursion into Ecuador and the ExxonMobil court case, and will examine the media distortions and inaccuracies.  It will also discuss how we can most effectively demonstrate our solidarity with Venezuela.

 

All welcome. To pre-register please contact VIC on 020 7250 0132 or info@vicuk.org

I appreciate that these kind of events happen. Venezuela got a lot of bad press lately

To everyone:

The NO vote of December 2nd, 2007 means that when a constitutional reform initiative is rejected in a referendum, it can not be presented again to the National Assembly during the same constitutional period.

That is, Hugo Chavez can NOT use a collection of signatures to present again part or the whole of the proposal we just rejected on December the 2nd of 2007 and chavists will have to wait for the next presidential period, with Chavez out of Miraflores.

(Artículo 345 de la Constitución: La iniciativa de reforma constitucional que no sea aprobada, no podrá presentarse de nuevo en un mismo período constitucional a la Asamblea Nacional…)

...> Meaning: Hugo Chavez is playing with us all and under the very nose of International Organizations and Mediators. Won't blame Venezuelan people if we decide to take action to correct this, because obviously internationally speaking we will be seen as the baddies. Don't play Chavez' games.
For discusion... if Venezuela is a very very rich country, why the poverty?, why the take over crucial press and free-voice media organizations? why the menace over oposition leaders? why the corruption (more than ever before)? why the main robbers are the authorities? why CADIVI is in debt with the banks? why the public officers are now simply useless?...
