Emergency Declaration: We condemn the Imperialist Attack by the U.S. against Venezuela and the Kidnapping of Maduro
The Current for Permanent Revolution – Fourth International (CPR-FI) categorically and vehemently condemns the military attack perpetrated by the United States against Venezuela. This is direct, deliberate, and criminal imperialist aggression against an oppressed country and constitutes a flagrant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty.

With the Attack on Venezuela, Trump Has Put the Death of International Law in Plain Sight
What the United States is signaling in Venezuela is not merely a dispute over one government, one election, or one leader. It is a warning to the world that international law—already fragile, already selectively enforced—has now been openly pushed aside. And this warning comes from a man who presents himself as a global peacemaker, a would-be Nobel laureate, a self-styled dealmaker who claims to have “ended” nearly twenty wars that exist largely in his own imagination.

Honduras’s First Woman President Is a Socialist With a Vision
Honduras inaugurated socialist Xiomara Castro as president last week, ending the nightmare of the 2009 US-backed coup in the country. The challenges she faces are immense, but her presidency could be a key piece of a new left-wing surge throughout Latin America.

Briefing: Venezuelan Elections November 2021 - PopularResistance.Org
Venezuela goes to the polls again on  N21ovember in ‘mega elections.’ The dialogue that began in late summer between the Venezuelan government and sections of the hard right-wing opposition had been going well, with some definite outcomes. These include the decision by some right-wing opposition parties that have boycotted elections for years to take part in the elections. But the US’s illegal extradition from Cape Verde of Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab, who was en-route to Iran to broker a trade deal to bring fuel, food and medicines to Venezuela, has threatened to sabotage both the talks, as the US did before in 2018 and 2019, and the elections. The regional and municipal elections being contested on 21 November are for the posts of state governors, mayors, regional legislators and local councilors, totaling 3,082 elected positions.
