Speaker: Roger Harris
On February 12, the imperialist newspaper Financial Times published the results of a poll claiming that 72% of respondents felt Venezuela was ‘moving in a positive direction’ after the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3rd. They also claimed that US-supported Maria Corina Machado enjoys commanding popularity over interim President Delcy Rodriguez, even though President Trump has admitted that Machado doesn’t have enough support or respect within Venezuela to lead the country.
The poll was commissioned by a senior adviser with the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and was conducted by a USAID-aligned non-profit organization.
Roger Harris, a Venezuela solidarity activist and independent journalist, has just returned from Venezuela and will update us on current developments in Venezuela since January 3rd, as well as resistance to the US attack within Venezuela.
Roger Harris is on the board of the Task Force on the Americas and the secretariat of the US Peace Council. He is active in the Sanctions Kill campaign and the Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition. He is a founding member of the Venezuela Solidarity Network. His writings may be regularly found at Counterpunch, LA Progressive, Antiwar.com, and the Orinoco Tribune.
