Repeat 5 Power Play: The U.S. and Canada back a Coup in Venezuela

(Repeat broadcast of the January 25 episode) On a week when the U.S., Canada and other world powers are recognizing an opposition politician and not the democratically elected Nicolas Maduro as the legitimate president of Venezuela, the Global Research News Hour examines the internal and external forces attempting to undermine the democratically elected government of Venezuela, their motives and what the future holds for the Bolivarian Republic. Our guests include Lucas Koerner, a Caracas-based staff writer with Venezuelanalysis.com, Radhika Desai, Professor of Political Studies and member of the Winnipeg Venezuela Peace Committee, and Nino Pagliccia, Vancouver-based Venezuelan-Canadian, writer and activist.
