the Night of Tuesday, Swedish time, put the regime in Venezuela stop for the university is similar in the military. At the same time were demonstrations in support of the rebels down.
News is a stark reminder of what Venezuela has turned into. It was before South america’s oldest democracy. Now it is a place where whoever controls the guns decide.
It still makes president Nicolás Maduro and his coterie. Key positions within the armed forces held by Maduro allies. Despite the fact that the economy is in free fall and the people turned their backs on him – during the Wednesday were new demonstrations – he can thus maintain the grip on power.
sharp reminder of why it is so difficult to see the Left party as a party like any other. It does not depend on V:p spendersamma economic policies and over-reliance to the state. Instead, the problem is the party’s weak democratic reflexes, which its attitude towards the developments in Venezuela have shown.
Then, a few years back, Jonas Sjöstedt critical of the Maduro government. It is, however, a belated tillnyktring. Above all, continue V-leader to defend Hugo Chavez and claim that Maduro scatters his predecessor’s legacy.
did not start with that Nicolás Maduro took over the presidency after Chávez’s death in 2013. Then the attacks on representative government have already lasted for more than a decade, under the leadership of Hugo Chávez. While human rights organisations such as Amnesty and Human Rights Watch consistently condemned Chávez erosion of democracy shaped vänsterpartisterna rather than a hyllningskör.
It could not, therefore, go even a decade after V removed the designation ”Communists” before the party slipped there again.
What makes V’s approach to Chávez’s attacks on democracy are particularly relevant – and spicy – is that the president of Venezuela tried out the tankefigurer and tools that the right-wing populists who are just now marching forward across Europe. The people would sweep away a hated elite and was not limited – motivated attacks against the media, the independence of the courts and, by extension, the opposition.
a decade after the Party removed the name ”the Communists” and made a half-hearted attempt to make up with his history before the party slipped there again. When Chávez after he was elected president in 1998, fought against democracy in the name got purpose once again justify the means.
Following the agreement between S, MP, C and L complained Jonas Sjöstedt, on his party’s ”comparable” with The sweden democrats. He doesn’t want this to happen, it is a good advice to make up properly with the party’s tributes to Hugo Chávez, and to ensure that the party does not make the same mistakes again.
