Maduro Assumes a Third Term – Prospects and Problematics for
Venezuela
Speaker: Roger D. Harris
Forecasts are favorable for Venezuela’s quarter-century-old Bolivarian Revolution.
Initiated by Hugo Chávez and seamlessly carried forward by Nicolás Maduro, it is
threatened by an increasingly aggressive Yankee hegemon. Venezuela’s regional role will
be pivotal with key left-leaning presidents in Brazil and Colombia up for reelection in
the next two years.
Our speaker, Roger D. Harris, accompanied the January 10 presidential election in
Venezuela and the concurrent antifascist conference. He will report back on what
happened there as well as on Washington’s campaign to delegitimize the country’s
Bolivarian Revolution with the ultimate aim of regime change.
Roger is on the executive committee of the US Peace Council. He is active with the anti-
imperialist human rights group Task Force on the Americas, the SanctionsKill
Campaign against unilateral coercive measures, is a founding member of the Venezuela
Solidarity Network, and is on the secretariat of the US Peace Council. He is also on the
ICSS program committee.
