"the Maduro government is not a Left government, it is not an anti-imperialist government, it is a government that gives up our oil to imperialism through mixed enterprises, just as Chávez did. It is a government that imposes austerity, that has a brutal capitalist economic plan, that has privatized and allowed prices to skyrocket, and it is a government that maintains a cap on wages, that criminalizes protest and imprisons activists and youth, that shoots protestors, that has killed activists for protesting against the <<paquetazo>> [austerity package], for protesting against restrictions on democratic freedoms, for protesting against the policies that impose hunger. These measures, the crisis and the repression are why more than 3 million Venezuelans have left this country, they are fleeing the brutal measures and the lack of democratic freedoms. It is very important that activists in the US get informed about this reality, and they can do so through our website, http://laclase.info, so that they can see that in Venezuela there is a revolutionary socialist, anti-imperialist left that is neither with the Maduro government nor with the pro-imperialist right, currently led by Guaidó."
