WOLA is pleased to announce the launch of Venezuelan Politics and Human Rights: Independent, Reality-Based Analysis, a blog hosted by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA). We intend the blog to serve as a unique resource for journalists, policymakers, scholars, activists, and others interested in understanding Venezuelan politics and human rights.
The contributors to the blog will provide insights on Venezuela’s politics that go beyond the polarized pro-Chávez/anti-Chávez debate. In the coming months there will be continuing coverage of Venezuela's upcoming elections as well as posts on citizen security, police reform, the fight against poverty, and media issues.
We hope the blog proves to be a useful resource for you. Visit the blog at www.venezuelablog.tumblr.com.
