In the second part of this explainer series, we will be focussing on the impact of the sanctions that were imposed in 2019.

Professor Sonya Surabhi Gupta talks about the breadth of resistance to the US imperial project in Latin America.

We take a look at the sanctions that have been imposed on the country and the debilitating impact these measures have on the lives of the people.

The illegal sanctions imposed by the US on Venezuela have caused billions of dollars of losses for the Venezuelan economy and have killed over 40,000 since 2017

Clashes outside the Venezuelan embassy in Washington DC are continuing with Juan Guaido supporters growing increasingly hostile and violent.

The objectives of the “strongest sanctions” are broadly all the same—that the United States will suffocate a country’s ability to trade and access finance as long as it does not do what the United States of America asks it to do

The international assembly was attended by around 500 delegates from five continents, representing 181 people’s movements and organizations.

The US-led intervention in Venezuela—hiding behind a pretext of humanitarianism—follows a long pattern of economic policies and covert operations in the country and in the region that seek to protect the economic interests of the United States and Europe

Carlos Ron, Venezuelan vice-minister for North America also explains the social character of the Venezuelan opposition that is currently attempting to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro.

At a special meeting of the UN security council on February 26, many countries, including those opposed to Nicolas Maduro, called for a peaceful resolution in Venezuela and rejected any attempt at military intervention

Around 450 delegates from 85 countries congregated in Caracas, to participate in a gathering of solidarity with Venezuela and the Bolivarian Revolution
