Stop Trump's colonial assault on Venezuela | Green Left Show #80

On January 3, the United States carried out a direct military operation against Venezuela. US forces bombed targets in and around Caracas, struck the electrical grid, killed over one hundred people, and abducted Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife and National Assembly deputy Cilia Flores.

Federico Fuentes, socialist journalist, writer for Green Left and editor of Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal, came on the Green Left Show to discuss the current situation in Venezuela and how we can build the solidarity movement here in Australia.

Fred is addressing two public forums co-hosted by Green Left and Socialist Alliance on Venezuela next week, in Naarm/Melbourne on Thursday, January 29 and in Gadigal Country/Sydney on Saturday, January 31.
