Chavismo Marches to Defend Revolution against Rightwing Onslaught

On Tuesday, Chavistas took to the streets of Caracas en masse following an attempt to bring impeachment proceedings against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the opposition-held legislature.

Slogans at the march included “Enough dialogue already! Now is the moment to fight” and “No to the MUD (opposition coalition) fraud”. 

Chavistas expressed their rejection of the over 53 thousand fraudulent signatures collected by the opposition earlier this year as part of the initial request to begin the recall referendum process against Maduro. They also denounced the right-wing’s refusal to sit down for Vatican-mediated dialogue with the government despite having demanded the inclusion of the Pope in the first place.
