Legacy of Hugo Chavez

“The Legacy of Hugo Chavez Lives On”
A Conversation with Venezuela’s Ambassador to the UN

Dear Friend,
On Sunday, April 14 (just a few days away) the people of Venezuela will vote for a new president to succeed the late Hugo Chavez.

This election will be enormously significant, not just for Venezuela, but also for the entire Latin American and Caribbean region; indeed, in many respects, crucial to the destinies of many countries in the developing world.

There are reports circulating today that Washington is busy interfering in the election campaign with the objective of determining an outcome that will serve its imperial interests in the Americas.

I hope you can join me, and many others, in demanding that the State Department and the CIA stay out of the Venezuelan people’s internal affairs.

I also hope you can take a few minutes to watch a video interview that I conducted recently with Julio Rafael Escalona, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Nations. The video is entitled “The Legacy of Hugo Chavez Lives On” and in it the ambassador speaks movingly about what Chavez and the ‘Chavista Movement’ means to the peoples of Venezuela, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

He also addresses the future of Venezuela’s international initiatives such as PetroCaribe, CELAC, ALBA , the heating oil assistance program in US cities like New York, Boston and Detroit etc. in the post-Chavez period.

If you like the video, feel free to post it to your Wall and share it with your Facebook friends and with those in your other networks, and if you have a Web site or blog please consider posting it there, as well.

Thanks.
In solidarity,
Don Rojas

No U.S. Intervention in Venezuela Elections

TELL WASHINGTON & THE VENEZUELAN ELITE: NO TO DESTABILIZATION EFFORTS IN VENEZUELA

A day of Solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution: Thursday APRIL 11, 2013

After the tragic death of our beloved president Chavez, the imperialist nations of the world are preparing to attack the Bolivarian Revolution. Venezuela is getting prepared for a new presidential election and the imperialists are intent to intervene and sabotage the election.

President Nicolas Maduro has claimed that elements of the U.S. State Department are hiring mercenaries to attack Venezuela in the days of the presidential election. The United States wants to create chaos in Venezuela to justify a military intervention. Let them know that we are here to denounce them.

NO US INTERVENTION IN VENEZUELA ELECTION

The solidarity movement in the United States right now faces a critical challenge with regards to Venezuela as well as the revolutionary process in Latin America. The tragic death of our comrade President Hugo Chavez has many believing that the important process for progress in Venezuela, Latin America and the world, has been dealt a crippling blow but we know that the Venezuelan people and the region will never go backward. And our solidarity will continue as they move forward in their struggles for self-determination, sovereignty, integration and social justice.

The people of Venezuela will honor the last will of President Chavez by overwhelmingly voting this coming April 14 for Nicolas Maduro for President. The Venezuelan people clearly remain committed to the process of fundamental change in their country, no matter what. We are confident that the roots of the Bolivarian Revolution will remain strong and grow.

But the death of our dear President Hugo Chavez will be used by US imperialism and the elite oligarchy in Venezuela to carry out aggressive plans to destabilize the revolutionary process in Venezuela. We must send a strong message to Washington right away: we are organizing our voices of solidarity with the Venezuelan people and demand no intervention during this coming election in Venezuela.

Why April 11? The Venezuelan coup attempt of 2002 was a failed coup d’état on 11 April 2002, that saw late President Hugo Chavez ousted from office for 47 hours, being restored by a combination of military loyalists and massive public support for his government. Chavez was initially detained by members of the military and of pro-business elites represented by Venezuelan Federation of Chambers of Commerce (Fedecámaras) president Pedro Carmona, who was declared as the interim president. Carmona’s brief rule saw the Venezuelan National Assembly and the Supreme Court both dissolved, and the country’s 1999 Constitution declared void.

In New York City, we will gather at Times Square @ 4PM to express our love and solidarity with the legacy of the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and then we will march to the U.S. Mission to tell President Barack Obama: We do not want U.S. intervention in Venezuela.

If you are in a city where no action is taking place, call, fax, email the White House and voice your opposition to intervention. Or better yet, organize a local action!

Venezolanos despiden a su líder Hugo Chávez

“El Telegrafo” de Ecuador
El féretro del presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, inició hoy el recorrido desde el Hospital Militar de Caracas hasta la Academia Militar, donde tendrán lugar las honras fúnebres del jefe de Estado que falleció este martes.

Envuelto en la bandera tricolor del país, el féretro fue despedido del hospital por militares, seguidores y familiares, encabezados por la madre del mandatario, Elena de Chávez, tras una breve ceremonia religiosa que se inició con el himno nacional.

El cortejo partió entre acordes de “Patria, patria, patria querida, tuya es mi alma, tuyo es mi amor…”, que entonó el Jefe de Estado en la alocución del pasado 8 de diciembre, la última antes de partir a Cuba para someterse tres días después a una operación tras la recaída del cáncer, y de la canción “En Venezuela”.

Miles de personas se agolpan a los lados del vehículo que transporta el ataúd, coronado con flores amarillas y blancas y custodiado por integrantes de la Guardia Honor Presidencial y que emprendieron así un recorrido de 6,3 kilómetros antes llegar a la Academia Militar, en el oeste capitalino.

Más temprano, la Fuerza Armada Nacional Bolivariana (FANB) comenzó el homenaje de despedida con el lanzamiento de 21 cañonazos de salva a las 8.00 hora local (12.30 GMT) y anunció que “luego sonará un cañonazo cada hora” hasta que sus restos sean inhumados el próximo viernes.

“Como Chávez no habrá otro”

Escenas desgarradoras se vivían frente al Hospital Militar, donde cientos de seguidores permanecieron en vigilia durante toda la noche y otras decenas se sumaron la mañana de hoy.

“Qué puedo decir, estoy muy triste”, senaló a la agencia AFP Isabel Febres, mientras lloraba inconsolable mirando un retrato de Chávez luciendo su banda presidencial.“Yo me quiero despedir porque él era un hombre bueno que dio todo por los más pobres”, manifestó de su lado Iris Dicuro, de 62 años, que vino al centro médico desde Puerto La Cruz, en el noreste del país.

“Era un hombre muy bueno y me hizo mucho bien. Yo lo quiero, tengo mi salud por él, por los médicos cubanos que trajo”, agregó la mujer, vestida con una camiseta roja con la frase “Pa’lante Comandante”.

“Vengo a expresar mi último adiós a mi presidente. Como Chávez no habrá otro, es el hombre más grande que ha parido esta patria”, acotó José Gregorio Conde, de 34 años y quien trabaja en un colegio.

El canciller Elías Jaua indicó que se instalará una capilla ardiente “para que el mayor número de pueblo pueda ver a su padre, a su libertador, a su protector”.

Mandatarios empiezan a llegar

En la madrugada del miércoles comenzaron a llegar mandatarios regionales, que asistirán al funeral oficial de Estado previsto para el viernes a las 10H00 (14H30 GMT). La presidenta de Argentina, Cristina Kirchner, y su homólogo uruguayo, José Mujica, fueron los primeros en llegar cerca de las 05H00 hora local (09H30 GMT), seguidos por el mandatario boliviano, Evo Morales, que arribó dos horas después y que fue recibido por Jaua.

Jaua indicó que el país amaneció en calma y adelantó que hasta el momento diez mandatarios han confirmado su presencia a las exequias de Chávez, la mayoría de los cuales llegarán durante la tarde del jueves.

El Gobierno dijo que informará dónde serán enterrados los restos del presidente, oriundo del Estado llanero de Barinas (oeste).

Maduro, de 50 años, será el candidato oficialista para las elecciones presidenciales que deberán celebrarse en un plazo de 30 días, como indica la Constitución, probablemente contra el líder opositor Henrique Capriles, de 40 años.
