What’s At Stake With Maduro’s Inauguration In Venezuela

January 10, 2025 Stephanie Weatherbee Brito and Vivian Fernandes, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
January 10 is a crucial day for Venezuela: the inauguration of Nicolás Maduro as President, after having been re-elected with 52% of the votes on July 28. This act not only marks the continuity of the Bolivarian Revolution, but also reflects the commitment of the Venezuelan people to the construction of a socialist model and in resistance to the aggression of US imperialism and the oligarchic elites. The Venezuelan reactionary sectors, supported by the US and its allies, have tried to destabilize the country on multiple occasions and once again now, with the defeated candidate Edmundo González self-proclaiming himself the winner and declaring that he will take office as president on the 10th.

More than 2,000 social leaders, communicators and national and international political activists gathered today at the La Carlota Center, Caracas, to participate in the Great World Anti-Fascist Festival and, from that front, to support the inauguration of President Nicolás Maduro Moros.

The Undeclared Objectives Of Edmundo González’s Tour

January 9, 2025 Misión Verdad, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
On January 3, the former presidential candidate from the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD), Edmundo González, began a tour of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Panama, and the United States. Last September, he asked for asylum from the Spanish government and subsequently fled there after a negotiation with the Venezuelan government that completely dynamited his credibility. His visit to these countries, where he has been received as a supposed “president-elect,” has as its fundamental objective to position, once again, the Venezuelan question on the regional scene, in view of the imminent rise of Donald Trump to the White House, relying on the governments most aligned with Washington’s foreign policy on the continent.

January 8, 2025 Victoria Torres, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Venezuela’s Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino condemned the recent message of the former far-right presidential candidate Edmundo González, who seeks to generate a climate of violence in the country amid President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration scheduled for this Friday, January 10. Padrino noted that the Bolivarian National Armed Force (FANB) is a professional institution that is committed to the defense of the country’s sovereignty and people’s will. In a statement released this Monday, January 6, the top military commander said that “we have observed with profound indignation a video published last night, January 5, by the coward Edmundo González addressing the FANB in ​​a shameless and insolent manner with absurd and incoherent statements that demonstrate not only ignorance regarding the military institution but also an exacerbated desperation in the face of the imminent and resounding failure of his coup plans.”

On January 10, President Maduro will be inaugurated and begin his third term in office. This follows a turbulent July election, which a US-backed opposition attempted to disrupt through violence, cyber attacks and allegations of fraud. Venezuelans mobilized successfully to thwart that effort but the United States continues to intervene through mercenaries, growing regional militarization and claims that the US-backed candidate, currently living in asylum in Spain, is the recognized president of Venezuela. Clearing the FOG speaks with Leonardo Flores of the Venezuela Solidarity Network about Venezuelans' preparations to protect their country and their gains made under the Bolivarian revolution.

We, the undersigned organizations, strongly condemn the decision by Trinidad & Tobago’s Prime Minister, Keith Rowley, and the PNM Government, to allow the deployment of US troops on Trinidadian soil. This is a grave mistake. Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana have become pawns in the US Empire’s nefarious plan to militarize the Caribbean region under the auspices of the US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). The US claims that this military cooperation is about enhancing regional security and dealing with issues such as the trafficking of persons, drugs and weapons, and to improve the military capability of these Caribbean countries.

December 11, 2024 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , ,
The re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States has many in Venezuela extremely concerned. From assassinations, terror campaigns, sanctions and coups, the first Trump administration tried everything short of a full-scale invasion of the country. With a cabinet full of hawks, MintPress assesses the potential for a future U.S. intervention in Venezuela. According to insiders such as Defense Secretary Mark Esper and National Security Advisor John Bolton, Trump was one of the loudest voices in the White House pushing for military intervention in the Caribbean nation.

The extremist sector of the Venezuelan opposition, represented by María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia, suffered a new setback both nationally and internationally on December 1, when a call to protest to demand “justice” before the International Criminal Court resulted in remarkably low participation. “Today, Sunday, December 1, we already have a first task to fulfill: Venezuelans are going to raise our unanimous clamor before the International Criminal Court, where we have already provided sufficient evidence for justice to be done,” Machado said on her social networks.
