Freedom, media and revolution in Venezuela
President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela faces huge attacks on his plans for a Socialism of the 21st Century, from both the wealthy establishment and media elites within the country, and the US government and their allies without. The non renewal of the broadcast license to the RCTV television station, which supported the failed right wing coup attempt against Chavez in 2002, has seen a renewed offensive by the countrys upper classes- he stands accused of being a dictator, despite winning election after election. His new party, the United Socialist Party, has just registered its five millionth member.
Coral Wynter, a journalist for the Green Left magazine, lived in Caracas, Venezuela for the last year. She is just back and speaking tonight about freedom, the media and revolution in Venezuela, at the Latin American Centre, 37 Selwyn Street, Onehunga, at 7.30pm tonight (Thurs June 7th).
