Venezuela Coup Stories and Communications

We have been receiving a number of good reports from Venezuela.

First we printed Coup in Venezuela: An Eyewitness Account
By Gregory Wilpert


And later yesterday, we started getting some interesting stuff translted by Lori Zett. These stories include: a translation of document written by the Legal Ministry of Venezuela condemning the coup; a statement blaming the Coup on Chavez's bad leadership; a letter from an activist discribing the civil unrest/resistance to the coup that is not getting covered in the mainstream english or spanish-language media; and finally a message from Guillermo Garcia Ponce (an advisor to Chavez)
