London, UK. 20th May 2017. People hold up posters to oppose the protest outside The Guardian in London calling for an end to the lies and censorship of the UK press about the events in Venezuela. They say that the current unrest is a right-wing coup attempt to overthrow President Maduro and the working class Bolivarian revolution, backed by the US, which the privately-owned Venezuelan press misrepresents as 'pro-democracy' protests and fails to report their attacks on hospitals, schools and socialist cities which have led to many deaths. The protest was at The Guardian as that paper recently called for democratically-elected socialist president Nicolas Maduro to be given ‘pariah status’, constantly backed attempts to undermine former President Chavez and has failed to report the mass mobilisations by working-class supporters to protect the government and its reforms which have decreased poverty, provided free health care and education, devolved power into the hands of local collectives and built homes for the working class. The protest was opposed by a small group of Venezualans who called Maduro a murderer.
