URGENT: Coup plots in Bolivia and Venezuela!
- 12 September 2008
The ongoing coup attempt in Bolivia
continues, and yesterday 8 peasants were killed when they were ambushed
by fascist gangs of the oligarchy. In the working class area of Plan
3000 in Santa Cruz, the people repelled the fascist gangs which had
attempted to enter this area to spread fear.
As a result of these provocations Evo Morales has expelled the US ambassador.
In the evening of Thursday a coup plot was uncovered in Venezuela. The people immediately gathered outside Miraflores and Chavez addressed them announcing the expulsion of the US ambassador.
A mass meeting of PSUV activists and leaders took place afterwards at
the Fuerte San Carlos and it was agreed to call a march for today
outside Fuerte Tiuna, the city's main military barracks and mass
demonstrations in all the regional capitals on Saturday.
It is time to say enough is enough. The oligarchy in Venezuela and
Bolivia has shown once and again their lack of respect for the
democratic will of the majority of the people.
We need to organise solidarity. Urgent meetings should take place
to plan actions of solidarity around the world. There should be rallies
outside of the US embassies and public assemblies to discuss the
situation and coordinate further action.
The Venezuelan and Bolivian embassies around the world must contacted to help and participate in this mobilisation.
IT IS TIME FOR ACTION
DOWN WITH THE REACTIONARY COUPS IN BOLIVIA AND VENEZUELA
DOWN WITH US IMPERIALISM
LONG LIVE THE BOLIVIAN AND BOLIVARIAN REVOLUTION
FORWARD TO SOCIALISM
An URGENT call to action:
Bolivia, Venezuela, no coup, no US interference
