President Nicolás Maduro visited the Simón Bolívar Socialist Commune in Caracas’s 23 de Enero parish Thursday, where he praised Venezuela’s communal democracy as direct and real and called for a new electoral system rooted in the communes. He announced that “starting with the next popular consultation, in addition to the prizes for the most active communes, the most-voted communal circuit in each state will automatically have all seven projects submitted by the community approved”—meaning they will receive state funding.

Mass Mobilization In Caracas Rejects US Threats Of Intervention

November 28, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
On November 25, tens of thousands of Venezuelans marched to defend national sovereignty. The event, dubbed the “Great Civic-Military, Police March for our National Flag and the Sword of Bolívar”, brought together various groups of military personnel, police, and civilians who demanded an end to Washington’s pressure on the Caribbean country. Since August, the Pentagon has deployed its troops in the Caribbean Sea to, according to the Trump administration, stop the entry of drugs which allegedly come out of Venezuela. At the same time, they have declared the Cartel de los Soles an international terrorist organization and identified the Venezuelan government leadership as part of that organization.

Venezuela’s National Assembly hosted, this Thursday, November 13 and Friday, November 14, the first Meeting of Jurists in Defense of International Law. The initiative, which included more than one hundred jurists from 35 countries, takes place amid international questions about the jurisprudence of pressure exerted by Washington against Nicolás Maduro’s government – both through bombings of vessels and the movement of aircraft carriers near the Venezuelan coast. Maduro appeared on the second day of the event. The head of state was given a list with 10 proposals drafted by jurists as attempts to halt Washington’s advances.

Trump Says US ‘May Be Having Discussions’ With Venezuela’s Maduro

November 17, 2025 Dave DeCamp,  Antiwar.com. , , ,
President Trump said on Sunday that the US “may be having discussions” with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, suggesting his administration has not entirely cut off diplomacy with Caracas as previous reports have said. Trump made the comments when asked about Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s announcement that the State Department would be designating the so-called Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization,” though the group doesn’t actually exist. The term “Cartel of the Suns” was first used in the 1990s, before Maduro’s predecessor, Hugo Chavez, came to power, to describe two Venezuelan military generals with sun insignias on their uniforms who were involved in the drug trade. One of the generals was working with the CIA at the time, according to a 1993 60 Minutes report.

An intelligence agent from the US empire has been caught attempting to co-opt an airplane pilot working for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in order to kidnap him, according to an Associated Press report. The report details how a US Homeland Security Investigations agent, identified as Edwin Lopez, approached the Venezuelan pilot after learning in 2024 that two private jets frequently used by President Maduro were being repaired in the Dominican Republic. Lopez told the pilot to divert a flight carrying the Venezuelan president to a site where he could be kidnapped by US operatives, offering a multimillion-dollar reward and even threatening his children.

On Friday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced that Venezuela will form an international volunteer brigade to confront any US intervention or aggression. The statement was made during a meeting of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. “We have received proposals from all over Latin America and the Caribbean, from Asia, Africa, and from many other places. I have seen videos on social media from many people, social leaders, saying that they too are getting ready,” Maduro said. He added that the international brigades, comprised of “men and women of the world,” would defend Venezuela’s sovereignty. President Maduro added that Washington is unleashing “a new eternal war,” commenting on the controversial US deployment and aggressions in the Caribbean Sea, with 10 strikes on small boats that have already killed 43 civilians in actions labeled as extrajudicial killings by international experts.

The United States is waging war on Venezuela. This is not a hypothetical; it is happening. The Donald Trump administration is using extreme violence to try to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro. The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in strikes on boats in international waters without charge or trial. UN experts have publicly condemned these attacks as “extrajudicial executions” that violate international law. It is not only Venezuelans who have been executed by the US military. Among the victims of these illegal US attacks have been fishermen who were citizens of Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was given to María Corina Machado, a far-right, pro-war Venezuelan opposition leader who has been funded by the US government for more than two decades. Machado has helped to lead numerous violent coup attempts in Venezuela, in 2002, 2014, 2017, 2019, and again today. She is now at the center of the US government’s regime-change war against Venezuela. In an interview with Donald Trump Jr. in February 2025, Machado made it clear that she wants to privatize Venezuela’s state-owned oil industry and sell off the South American nation’s natural resources to US corporations.

Amid the ongoing threats to Venezuela from the United States, which maintains its military deployment in the Caribbean under the pretext of combating drug trafficking, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro assured that Caracas will respond if Washington attacks and stressed that work will continue despite external pressures and threats. “If the gringos threaten, we will work harder; if the gringos attack, we will respond; but nothing will stop the work; the work for the homeland, the work for the health of the people, for education, for the life of the people,” he said during the inauguration of the Dr. Julio Criollo Rivas Pediatric Hospital in Caracas.

Venezuela To Declare State Of External Unrest

September 24, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
Hours after US President Donald Trump threatened to “blow out of existence” the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro announced Tuesday night that the government is considering a decree that would declare a state of external unrest. The decision was announced during an extraordinary meeting of Venezuela’s Council of State at the Miraflores Palace in Caracas. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro made the announcement alongside Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, Attorney General Tarek William Saab, President of the Supreme Court of Justice Caryslia Rodriguez, and President of the National Assembly Jorge Rodriguez. This unprecedented Constitutional measure would allow Venezuela to take exceptional actions in the face of a possible military attack by the United States.

The Caribbean On A Knife’s Edge: Trump’s Military Buildup Threatens Venezuela

September 10, 2025 Manolo De Los Santos, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
The sun glints off the gray hull of the USS Iwo Jima, a massive amphibious assault ship cutting through the Caribbean Sea. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, a key architect of the Trump administration’s “maximum pressure” policies, stands on deck before a group of sailors and marines. His voice, amplified by the ship’s public address system, is a low, serious rumble that carries across the choppy waters. “What you’re doing right now is NOT training,” he says, in a scene reminiscent of George W. Bush’s staged landing to declare victory in Iraq. “This is a REAL-WORLD EXERCISE on behalf of the vital national interests of the United States of America, to end the POISONING of the American people.”

US War Department To Shift Focus From China To ‘Threats’ In Latin America

September 7, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
US War Department officials are proposing to shift the US military posture away from a focus on China, instead prioritizing alleged threats in Latin America and the Caribbean, Politico reported on 6 September. A draft of the newest National Defense Strategy places "domestic and regional missions above countering adversaries such as Beijing and Moscow," Politico revealed, citing three people briefed on early versions of the report. The news comes one day after Trump signed an executive order for the Department of Defense to be renamed the “War Department” to better reflect its mission. Politico notes that the move, if implemented, would anger politicians in both the Republican and Democratic parties who have long been hostile to China and called for aggressive policies to counter its rise.

President Maduro Explains Venezuela’s Position On US Military Deployment

September 4, 2025 Resumen English. , , ,
On Monday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro held a press conference with representatives of international media in which he analyzed the current geopolitical situation in the Caribbean. “There are still those who want to impose supremacism and view us from afar as they did in the era of colonization,” Maduro said, questioning the patterns of international domination. “The heirs of the old colonialisms and domination hold power and still view our nations with contempt and arrogance,” he emphasized, highlighting that global awareness against all forms of supremacism is awakening. “A global awareness is rising that will not allow, under any circumstances, the imposition of a new type of domination and colonialism, either in Our America or in the rest of the world.”

Venezuelan Youth Train To ‘Defend The Homeland’ Amid US Escalation

September 1, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
The youth wing of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) carried out “Basic Revolutionary Resistance Training” over the past week in the Venezuelan state La Guaira. On the evening of August 28, the youth participated in a 10 kilometer night march led by Secretary General of PSUV, Diosdado Cabello. The training took place amid rising tensions between Washington and Caracas. The situation flared up when the administration of US President Donald Trump reiterated accusations that the Venezuelan government plays a major role in drug trafficking, increasing the bounty on the head of President Nicolás Maduro, and at the same time deploying troops to the Caribbean to support the US “war on drugs”.

The Cartel Of The Suns: Leftovers That Were Never Edible

August 24, 2025 Clodovaldo Hernández, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
The US narratives about the Cartel of the Suns and the alleged connection of President Nicolás Maduro with drug trafficking are nothing more than a reheated dish that was never edible, not even when it was first cooked. However, the poor quality of this stew does not make it any less dangerous. The imperial power has used even more rotten pots as excuses to invade countries, bomb cities, and exterminate entire pueblos. In fact, just days after US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the doubling of the reward Washington is offering for Maduro’s capture, military forces were deployed in the Caribbean under the pretext of repressing drug trafficking by “Latin American cartels.” The Venezuelan government and the Bolivarian National Armed Force (FANB), with their long experience confronting all kinds of aggressions—military, paramilitary, mercenary—from abroad, have remained on high alert.
