TWO of four suspects in the murder of a retired Venezuelan general have been identified as police from an opposition-controlled district of the capital.
Major General Felix Velasquez was gunned down in front of his five-year-old granddaughter on Saturday by two men on a motorcycle in the Santa Monica district of Caracas.
He had been a senior commander in the Bolivarian National Militia, a popular reserve force founded by late president Hugo Chavez and an important pillar of Venezuela’s budding socialist revolution.
Concessions to Washington by the post-Maduro leadership in Caracas are designed to preserve the core of the Bolivarian Revolution not betray it, argue Roger D Harris, Francisco Dominguez and Mara Paez Victor. How the solidarity movement responds is critical

The global left must be unwavering in it is support for Venezuela as Washington increases its aggression, and clear-eyed about the West’s cynical motives for targeting it, says CLAUDIA WEBBE
