Venezuela: May call to resist US-backed bids to wreck government
VENEZUELAN communists issued a May Day call to resist US-backed coup plotters and for working-class power yesterday.
Supporters of both the United Socialist Party (PSUV) government and the Democratic Unity Roundtable (Mud) opposition coalition planned marches, the latter to the Supreme Justice Tribunal and the National Electoral Council to repeat the demand for an early presidential election.
A month of anti-government violence incited by the Mud has left 29 people dead and more than 500 injured — almost matching the toll for 2014’s year of putschist terror.
