In his weekly TV programme Aló Presidente,
broadcast on Sunday April 22 from Urachiche in Yaracuy, president Chávez
advised all Venezuelans to read and study the writings of Leon Trotsky, and
commented favourably on The Transitional Programme, which was written by
Trotsky for the founding congress of the Fourth International in 1938.

Workers in Venezuela have been in the forefront of the struggle for workers' control. But they constantly face manoeuvres on the part of the state bureaucracy and right-wing of the government that are aimed at the discrediting the very idea that workers can run the economy. The Inveval workers are raising demands to put a stop to this. Also Available in Spanish.

President
Chavez has called for the full support of the working class and the trade
unions, and has called upon them to “play their rightful role in the
revolution”. The workers’ movement in Venezuela must take advantage of
this opportunity and drive the revolution to the end.

 A historic demonstration took place in Caracas on February 8. The march represented
the advances and contradictions of the revolution. It marked the development on
a higher plane of the revolutionary struggle of the working class, but also the
weaknesses of the movement. Above all, the march showed that the UNT can be
united, as well as what must be done if the revolution is to be taken to the
end.

 Last week, on 8 February, thousands of workers marched in Caracas to call for the
nationalisation of Sanitarios Maracay, CANTV, Sidor and other companies. The comrades of the Corriente Marxista Revolucionaria have written a report (in Spanish) which we will have in English soon. We have compiled a picture gallery of the demonstration here.

The bourgeois media have
made a lot of noise about the Enabling Law recently passed in Venezuela’s
National Assembly. Unfortunately, some on the left have joined in the chorus of
attacks against Chavez. The Enabling Law must be viewed in its proper context,
must be understood from a class point of view, and must be seen as the
Venezuelan masses see it – as a welcome and necessary measure the revolution
must take if it is to succeed.

accelerates it is paramount that we help strengthen the Marxist wing of the

To outside observers who get their facts from the
bourgeois media it would seem that Chavez is going "too fast". But the ordinary
working people of Venezuela are demanding immediate action. They live in such
conditions that they can wait no longer. An interesting comment by Michael Lebowitz.

On the surface, everything appears to be all well and good
for the Venezuelan economy. Growth rates are high, as is consumer spending. But
beneath the boom in Venezuela
lies a series of worrying economic trends. If nothing is done about this a
serious economic crisis could rear its ugly head, with serious consequences for
the revolution.
