2.) SEMINAR: US Intervention & Destabilisation in Venezuela - Lessons of Chile & Nicaragua
Tuesday, March 31, 6:30pm at the Discus room, Unite House, 128 Theobalds Road, WC1X 8TN

With a UK short film premiere of "Guerra Economica: Venezuela 2013 - Chile 1972"
Recent weeks have seen US lawyer & writer Eva Golinger warn of a "coup in real time" in Venezuela as increased evidence of anti-democratic, right-wing destabilisation plans has coincided with economic sabotage & the US slapping sanctions on Venezuela. Additionally, President Correa of Ecuador has commented that “After the elections in March 1973 in Chile, the defeated bourgeoisie chose the path of economic war to overthrow Allende: stockpiling, speculation, etc,” and that “the resemblance is striking with what is happening now in Venezuela.” Come to this event to find out why & how we can offer our solidarity.

3.) FILM SHOWING: John Pilger's 'The War on Democracy' With Discussion on When the Venezuelan People Defeated the US-Backed Coup Against Hugo Chavez & The Lessons for Today
Monday April 13, 7.00pm at the Bolivar Hall, 54 Grafton Way, London, W1T 5DL.
This film showing - on the anniversary of when the Venezuelan people defeated the coup against Hugo Chavez - will be introduced by a Venezuelan speaker and a special international guest, who will also give an update on the current situation with regards to US intervention, the 'economic war' and right-wing, anti-democratic destabilisation.
John Pilger is supporting this event & says: "[The film] is about the struggle of people to free themselves from a modern form of slavery". These people, he says, "describe a world not as American presidents like to see it as useful or expendable, they describe the power of courage and humanity among people with next to nothing. They reclaim noble words like democracy, freedom, liberation, justice, and in doing so they are defending the most basic human rights of all of us in a war being waged against all of us."
