I want to begin this note by paying a small personal tribute to my president Nicolás Maduro Moros, who is the president of all Venezuelans, and in whom I recognize, in addition to being a good man, a great revolutionary.

We saw Nicolás in some images and videos that surfaced, and in all of them he appears unharmed, surrounded by his kidnappers, with great dignity, even managing to send his people the message that “we will win” by gesturing with his hands. And perhaps, in passing, a message to the world as well.

The Venezuelan revolution is still standing: dismantling Trump's psychological operation

10 min read MANOLO DE LOS SANTOS 0 comments

MANOLO DE LOS SANTOS
Following the illegal US operation against Venezuela, a deliberate disinformation campaign has been carried out to sow doubts about the survival of the country's revolution.

The events of the last 72 hours represent a qualitative escalation in the 25-year history of regime change operations by the United States government against the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. The execution of “Operation Absolute Resolve” by the United States, including targeted bombing and the illegal abduction of President Nicolás Maduro, has created a moment of profound crisis, but also of profound clarity. For revolutionary forces worldwide, concrete analysis is required to combat disinformation, understand the objective balance of power, and chart a path forward.

Why did Trump send his warships to Venezuela?

Since Hugo Chávez came to power in 1998, the United States has tried to overthrow the Bolivarian Revolution. They have tried everything short of a full-scale military invasion: a military coup, the selection of a replacement president, cutting off access to the global financial system, imposing multiple sanctions, sabotaging the electrical grid, sending mercenaries, and attempting to assassinate its leaders.

If you can think of any method to overthrow a government, chances are the United States has tried it against Venezuela.

Nelson Hadad is a Chilean lawyer and university professor. He served as Chile's ambassador to Iraq, Jordan, and Egypt. At the end of July, in response to the crimes committed by Benjamin Netanyahu's government in the Gaza Strip, he decided to draft a letter requesting Israel's expulsion from the UN. We spoke with him about the conflict in the Middle East.

A Nobel Prize winner in war uniform

DANIEL JADUE
When the Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado, it chose to call "peace" what, in the South, we know as intervention and tutelage. It awarded it to a person who for years has placed herself at the disposal of a foreign power to promote a coup d'état in her own country. Someone who has even called, even in international forums, for foreign military intervention in the genocidal State of Israel, and who, in the midst of the devastation of Gaza, defends the Zionist entity with the grammar of "self-defense."

Fernando Molina: "The outlook for Bolivia's second round is highly uncertain."

The surprise results of the first round of Bolivia's presidential elections, in which the Rodrigo Paz/Edman Lara ticket (32,1%) emerged victorious, raises expectations for the runoff on October 19. While the fragmentation of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), which governed the country for nearly 20 years, suggested a right-wing victory, the emergence of the Paz/Lara duo speaks otherwise. Paz will face former President Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga (26,8%) in a runoff election.

The Belt and Road Initiative diversifies the paths of cooperation with CELAC

During the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum, held on May 13, 2025, in Beijing, Latin American governments articulated a new vision for engagement with China. The future of the BRI in the region will depend not only on Chinese financing and technical expertise, but also on the capacity of Latin American countries to design inclusive development strategies and build effective institutional frameworks. The challenge now is to move from diplomatic declarations to transformative action, and turn the partnership into shared prosperity.

Argentine journalist Leila Guerriero was already a renowned journalist before publishing "La llamada," but this book places her in a more than prominent place in the genre with which she is most identified: narrative journalism.
In “The Call,” Guerriero addresses the life of Silvia Labayru, a former militant of the Montoneros guerrilla group and a survivor of the former ESMA clandestine detention center.

BRICS Pay will be a digital platform that would allow consumers and businesses in partner countries to make payments and transfer funds across borders with ease – precisely what we do now with SWIFT, except that they would not do so under Western domination. More than 50 countries have already expressed interest in joining this initiative ahead of the 2024 BRICS summit.

There is a virtually unanimous perception of a worsening of the major international dilemmas, whether we are referring to issues of peace or development, manifesting itself in open discontent with the different yardsticks applied to certain conflicts and the persistence in preserving an exclusive hegemony that does not take into sufficient consideration the changes that have occurred in recent decades in the international economy and society.

The disarmed left

It must be said loud and clear. The so-called left, in general and to very different degrees, seems to be increasingly falling into the trap set by rampant capitalism on a planetary level. It plays on its field and by its rules, those imposed by capitalism itself. And so, it is impossible to win. And it does so with a referee bought in that great stadium with little lights that they have built called “Democracy” through a parliamentary system based on the delegation of votes, on “behave yourself and stay at home” and “don’t bother me again for four years” when you can vote again so that everything remains practically the same.
