VENEZUELA SOLIDARITY: EMERGENCY PICKET CALLED People in the New York area in solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela led by President Hugo Chavez have called for an emergency picket line on Oct. 9 at 5:00-6:30 p.m. at the Venezuelan Consulate at 7 East 51st Street near Madison Ave. The same right-wing forces that attempted a coup-d'etat last April 11 have called for a demonstration and general strike against the Chavez government on Oct. 10. Last April it was only a general uprising of the population that saved Chavez from the clutches of the right wing. At stake this time is not just his presidency but the movement he represents for education, housing and against poverty. The statement calling the picket line demands: Hands off the Bolivarian movement! No U.S.-backed coup against President Hugo Chavez! Solidarity with the people of Venezuela!
