Australian solidarity with Venezuela

The first step in establishing an Australia-wide network in 
solidarity with Venezuela was taken in Sydney recently. Following 
an address by Venezuela's Ambassador to Australia, Mr Leonel 
Vivas — in which he outlined the progress being made in 
Venezuela and the challenges being faced by the revolution — the 
people gathered at the Lidcombe meeting decided to establish 
Australia's first Bolivarian Circle.

Participants at the meeting outlined some immediate tasks, such 
as the preparations for the World Festival of Youth and Students 
to take place in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas in August next 
year and a campaign to have the Australian Embassy in Venezuela 
reopened. An interim committee was established at the meeting and 
a regular meeting night set down.

It is anticipated that chapters of the organisation will be 
established in other centres throughout the country in the near 
future.
