VENEZUELAN President Nicolas Maduro has slammed the European Union for arrogance and “old colonialism” after it proposed further sanctions on the country.
The European Council issued a statement after a meeting on Monday which referred to “targeted and reversible restrictive measures” to be taken swiftly against Caracas.
It is understood that the sanctions will target top Venezuelan officials and could come into effect as soon as June 25.
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
International solidarity can ensure that Trump and his machine cannot prevail without a level of political and economic cost that he will not want to pay, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
