Hands off Venezuela Sweden launched its web site www.handsoffvenezuela.se
- 22 February 2006
At the beginning of February the Swedish site of Hands off Venezuela, www.handsoffvenezuela.se, was launched. The site will be updated at least twice a month and has got already 60 subscribers to its newsletter. In a small country like Sweden a website can get a wide audience quickly. It will also serve to spread the campaign to other areas in the country.
The aim is to answer the silence and the lies about Venezuela in the Swedish media, and to raise solidarity for the Venezuelan revolution within the labour movement and amongst the youth. The site also contains articles about other countries in Latin America.
It is therefore a major step forward for the campaign in Sweden. With the help of the site we will launch a trade union petition for the UNT, organise a Venezuela block in the May Day demonstration in Gothenburg, and try to get a speaker at the Left Party (former CP) meeting on May Day.
The campaign is so far based in Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden and the centre of the Volvo and SAAB car plants.
Please help build the campaign by
