As things stand with the new panorama announced on April 18, the American company Chevron is the only one that is granted permission to market, leaving the Spanish Repsol, the Italian Eni and the Spanish company out of the market and under threat of sanction. the French Maurel/Prom, all of them in commercial negotiations with PDVSA.

With the alibi of pressuring the Venezuelan government to be more democratic on the eve of its presidential elections on July 18, the “American friend” whom it truly sanctions is the European oil companies, which it prevents from marketing Venezuelan oil.

The surplus hides an adjustment that has slowed consumption, destroyed salaries, increased rates, punished one of the most vulnerable sectors of society - the retirees - and fueled a time bomb in a country where more than half of the population is poor (57%).
Many of those who supported him (and still support him) are beginning to question the deadlines. The great unknown is whether Argentine society will be able to find some coordinated response to such an onslaught.

If the US authorities manage to convict a journalist for exposing war crimes, this would have another serious consequence. In the future, it would be even more difficult and dangerous to expose the sordid reality of wars, especially those wars that Western governments like to sell as civilizing missions with the help of embedded journalists. If we don't know the truth about these wars, it will be much easier to fight them.

Will Machado be able to repeat the Milei phenomenon?

She was the standard bearer in the request for a foreign military invasion through the obsolete Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR) and for years requested to radicalize the blockade and unilateral coercive measures against Venezuela, as a formula to remove Maduro from power.

Up to 100.000 people - most of whom derive their professional status and income from politics, defense and climate-related businesses - flew to Dubai to attend COP28, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention United Nations on Climate Change. And the result? An unmitigated disaster.

In the final session, a weak and incoherent compromise resolution between oil-producing countries and smaller states and climate advocates – which did not call for phasing out fossil fuels – was accepted without dissent.
