The recent congress of the UNT in Venezuela broke up into two hostile
camps. If this is allowed to develop into a fully-fledged split it would
represent a major blow to the Venezuelan working class. This must not be
allowed to happen. Things are changing with every passing minute and hopefully
the damage may be undone. In the meantime we are publishing this declaration of
the Marxist Revolutionary Current.
Jeremy Dear, General Secretary of the National Union of Journalists and member of the British Hands Off Venezuela steering committee, met with President Chavez as part of a trade union delegation from Britain. Jeremy discussed the campaign of disinformation in the mainstream media abroad. We will report more on this next week together with reports of the UNT conference taking place now. For now we link to twoarticles from Aporrea.org and a video where Jeremy is interviewed by state channel VTV.
http://freteco.elmilitante.org is the new website of the
Venezuelean FRETECO (Revolutionary Front of Occupied Factories), a
front set up by workers at the Inveval factory in Los Teques, near Caracas.
It will contain news, images and documents about the struggle for workers'
control in Spanish.
