ORGANISATION of American States (OAS) secretary-general Luis Almagro granted Venezuelan opposition demands yesterday for a meeting that could see Caracas suspended from the bloc.
Mr Almagro said Venezuela had suffered “grave alterations of democratic order” and called for a vote of the Washington-based OAS in the coming weeks.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro appealed for international solidarity, calling for “a great movement to defend peace and independence against foreign interventionism.”
International solidarity can ensure that Trump and his machine cannot prevail without a level of political and economic cost that he will not want to pay, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
The global left must be unwavering in it is support for Venezuela as Washington increases its aggression, and clear-eyed about the West’s cynical motives for targeting it, says CLAUDIA WEBBE
