Venezuela is not alone! An international petition has gathered over 10 million signatures. Protests have taken place all over Europe, the Americas and even Gaza, whose people benefited greatly from the solidarity extended by the people of Venezuela. Bolivia has pledged military support. In far away Australia, disparate community and solidarity groups have rallied in support of the Bolivarian Revolution that has delivered so many benefits to the people of Venezuela. Protests against US aggression took place last weekend in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. In Adelaide, the local chapter of the Australia Venezuela Solidarity Network was revived and plans made for future actions in support. |

US President Barack Obama’s Executive Order
declaring Venezuela a threat to US national security and foreign policy
objectives must rank as one of the most spectacular political “own
goals” of recent times. Since the thinly veiled declaration of war on
the Bolivarian Revolution was made on March 9, world opinion has rallied
in support of Venezuela’s sovereignty and security. There have been
some unprecedented expressions of solidarity, especially in Latin
America where the mood is decidedly against turning the clock to a
US-dominated Western Hemisphere.
