Venezuela, What’s Really Happening?



To read the commercial news reports from Venezuela, one might think there is a popular labor “strike” that has brought an “authoritarian” regime to its knees, and that the Chavez government is anti-democratic. But, factual information continues to accumulate on the side of constitutional

rule and against destabilizing coup attempts.

To find out what’s really happening we talked with Oswaldo Vera, Pres. of the Employees of the Simon Bolivar University & Deputy in the Venezuelan Assembly , Gregory Wilpert, journalist living in Venezuela and author of an upcoming book on the Chavez Presidency and Mark Weisbrot,

Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, who had just returned from Venezuela .
