Ricardo Galindez’s tour of Britain kicked off with a big success yesterday. Over 80 people filled the Grand Committee Rooms in the British House of Commons to hear the Venezuelan trade union leader outline the latest developments in the Bolivarian Revolution.
On Monday April 11 and Tuesday April 12, the Revolutionary Marxist Current
organized two very successful public meetings at the Bolivarian
University. In the first meeting there were five hundred people and in
the second over four hundred. The audience consisted mainly of young
people, students and Bolivarian activists, but in both meetings there
was a fair number of workers and trade unionists.
Alan Woods was one of the main speakers at a workshop in Venezuela on workers’ co-management. More than 500 trade unionists from all over Venezuela attended the workshop. It is clear that the advanced workers in Venezuela see co-management not as what we have experienced in Europe, but as genuine democratic workers’ control. It is a reflection of how advanced the whole situation in Venezuela is. See also our picture gallery.
