Twice.Therefore, the European Council decided to approve it.

Socialist Forum Title: Venezuela, Hugo Chávez and the "Bolivarian revolution" Time and Date: 8.30 pm Monday 7, March. Venue: Red Parrot Pub, Dorset Street, Dublin North City Centre. Speaker: Kevin Wingfield MANY people on the left and in the anti-capitalist movement have looked to Venezuela and Hugo Chávez in recent years for hope and inspiration. Hugo Chávez, who has won two democratic elections on a radical programme, is hugely popular among Venezuela's poor. In April 2002 sections of the army mounted a coup and arrested Chávez. Immediately hundreds of thousands of poor people poured into the centre of the capital, Caracas, and caused key military commanders to switch sides reinstating Chávez after three days.

Despite efforts by many around the world to rise above sectarianism in the face of the USA's raw imperialism, Walden Bello, a prominent critic of neo-liberalism, has launched an international distancing campaign against the Communist Party of the Philippines and the democratic sectoral movements which draw political inspiration from them. Claiming that the CPP's military wing has targeted him with a “hit list,” which in fact is a mere diagram showing the international linkages of various Phillipino parties and individuals, Bello is playing a dangerous game. Included on the diagram is Bello's Akbayan parlimentary party. read full story / add a comment
