Caracas, Feb 8 (Prensa Latina) More than 30 popular movements of Venezuela demonstrate their opposition to the information policy of the private Globovision, with vigils at the entrance to the television station, informed activist Marcos Sosa.
Also, the activists will deliver a document with signatures of six thousand persons to several government institutions to enforce the legal measures of the country, explained Sosa, spokesman of the National Network of Bolivarian Circles.
The spokesman told the press that Globovision serves the intentions of the United States to provoke a crisis of the government president, Hugo Chavez, using their national air space.
He explained that the channel "vilifies and distorts expressions of the Venezuelan people and, above all, those sectors that identify with the revolutionary process led by Chavez."
To prevent this conduct, the Bolivarian network and other organizations prepare a series of activities scheduled to begin on February 19 with a forum on the influence of the mass media in society.
For the 20th they plan a collection of signatures in front of the National Telecommunications Commission, the ministries of Telecommunications and Informatics, Communication and Information, the National Assembly, offices of the Vice presidency and Presidency of the Republic.
According to Sosa this group of peaceful actions aims to "put a stop to the illegal practice of this channel accusing it of attempting to provoke instability and acting against the emotions and psyche of the Venezuelan people."

Well done. That's certainly an important part of the puzzle of building socialism this particular way (i.e. thru an uneasy, bourgeois-legal truce with the bourgeoisie. Until the latter move to all-out conflict -- which they will, 100% certain. Then all gloves should be off).
ReplyDeleteThe idea is to VERY publicly put the bureaucrats' feet to the fire when they do not follow the socialist law or the Constitution, or shirk their duties, or drag their heels, or obstruct progress, or are known to collude with anti-socialist forces, or are found to be corrupt -- in person or collectively, etc. When you couple that intense popular pressure with a larger plan, and actually follow-thru with these assertions of popular power -- so that the bureaucracy KNOWS these organizations of the people mean business -- what you have is REAL POWER. And when you further couple this with the construction of a socialist power structure, parallel to the bourgeois one (for now), starting with the consejos, and combining together in function further up the chain of power in assemblies of consejos, etc. -- well, what you have then is real revolutionary and permanent -- and good and popular and democratic -- change.
Let's hope that the entire bolivarian process of the masses makes this one of their permanent weapons of choice against an often intransigent and entrenched bureaucracy and middle-class.
