venezuela after chavez. it's the inside story >> hello, i'm ray suarez. hugo chavez revolution had leveraged venezuela's enormous oil wealth by selling oil cheaply to caribbean neighbors and heavily subsidizing consumer kids for the masses at home. but the economy has not been performing. at the time of chavez's death last march it was predicted that they would have to devalue its currency, cut back on policies and many airline carriers have suspended their flights to venezuela. nicolÁs maduro, vice president who had taken power after chav chavez's long battle with cancer was elected in his own right. but now after less than a year in charge, conflicts have turned violent and deadly. demeanor straighters on the streets of caracas are demanding change . throwing stones and setting up roadblocks protesters have been gathering for weeks in what has become the largest anti-government movement in a decade. >> venezuela is waking up. enough of so much insecuritity, so much oppression . >> beyond the protests and below the surface lies a country on the verge of

oil is at $17 when chavez went into power. it got to almost 150. >> he helped raise that price up through, you know, all kinds of policies with opec but used that money to i hope vest in the people and social programs, which is what hazelvated the standarded of lives in venzuela. while there are problems, there have been a lot of improvements. it's important to look at that context. >> we could continue to discuss this 4 hours. they are going to kick me out of here from the control room. we have to leave it there. good to have you on the show. thanks for coming in. >> thank you >> it's time to see what's trending on the website. let's check in with hermela. >> thursday has been declared a global day of action by al jazeera. we are showing solidarity with the three journalists who have been detained in cairo. last december, the three were arrested by egyptian authorities. they along with 17 other defendant defendants are accused of spreading false news and having links to the muslim brotherhood which egypt declared a terrorist

but, i think that there was that sentiment that that part of town was neglected and so chavez has been an issue for so many years, and i think that credit goes to cc, and the other organizations that have been mobilizing for a decade, actually, to move this forward, and chose that the community can actually get to the hall to act and so i am very proud of that, i think, my hope is that, what comes out of this experience is that we build on the need to engage communities especially on the southeastern part of town that have felt at times neglected and i think that the ta, in particular, can play a role in engaging those communities. because i know that some of the people that have been involved, with chavez at times felt that nothing was going to happen so for them to actually see it come to fruition, was pretty exciting, and it is exciting by the supervisor for that district to see it happen. >> thank you. it is a great example of what is possible for the people in district eleven who are yearning for the real infrastructure there as well. and okay, if there are know other comments, th

that you have here at the museum. >> well, one of the things that chavez was doing an advocating for the rights of farm workers was dealing with their living and working conditions. this is known as the shorthand led hoe, used by farm workers to tend the fields. you know they use this from morning to dusk. you can see it's very short. peter, if you and i hold back at home, we have a long hoe and prevents back ware but use this you kneel down close to the ground. it's back breaking work. the other thing was if you have a number of farm workers in the field, the supervisor, it enabled you to see whether people were working or not because if people were standing up, that means they were not pending those grapes or crops. based on union efforts, this hoe was there's especially poignant because it was owned by the chavez family. this is a hoe whose dad rntion himself, likely used in terms of its own efforts. >> why did you choose the jacket and this 1939 tv to be included in the book? >> well i chose them among 99 other things and 137.9 million things that i didn't choose from the collect

former bus driver is a protege of this man, hugo chavez.aduro calls the opposition far is and like an infection that needs to be cured and he points the finger at us in the united states. he accuses washington, d.c. of plotting to destabilize his government. and this week three u.s. diplomats were given 48 hours to leave the country, accused of bringing down the government in caracas. maduro shouted, yankee go home. and president obama wasn't too happy about that, feeling that the president should focus on the legitimate mat issues in the country. many of president maduro's claims today, of u.s. intervention, of assassination plots, those were all hurled around back in 2002 when president hugo chavez was briefly ousted in a coup. john. >> john, thanks very much. eva golinger is the author of the chavez code and joins us in new york. good to have you on the program. >> thank you very much john. >> journalists credentials from cnn have been revoked and could be removed or detained. doesn't that show that the government is cracking down on fre

landscape. >> this has been in the making when the events of april 2002 happened the government of chavez realized that the state media was very weak to challenge the influence of private media and they have build an immediate that doesn't contradict the government. only one, only one critical broadcaster remaining there. >> now even global has changed sides. after years of clashes with the government and crippling fines for alleged violations of the media laws sold off last year to a businessman tied to the government. an editor but quit the day after the protests began over the blockout issue, and says she relied on the columbian challenge. and then that channel going to black. >> that happened on the 12th of february, i remember, i left the office and going home to watch 24 and all of a sudden the signal was cut. >> the president made that decision against 24 as it was encouraging violence protests and the government can't alow that behavior and we are monitoring the international channels. some of the big print media around the world that are trying to influence the public opinion. >>

and author of "we created chavez - a people's history of the venezuela revolution", we appreciate you being with us. we mentioned leopoldo lopez's education and wealth versus nicolas maduro. is this a matter of class difference, is that what the division is here? >> it's not just about class difference, but it's a part of it. leopoldo lopez hails from the upper crust of the upper crust. he's descended from the first president of venezuela. these are the people that are accustomed to running the country, to being in power and don't like to be displaced. when chavez was elected the traditional political class was displaced by a new class coming largely interest below, from popular movement, the urban poor, and these are the people given a new voice. what has manifest is very much a struggle between classes. it's never been that. the protests, not reducible lean towards the upper classes. >> the millions of supporters that voted for the chavez block are largely from the poor segment of society. >> you note nicolas maduro's streghtds. the majority. it is. that's something that needs to be

which is also in a state of appeal as antigovernment protesters take to the streets to oppose hugo chavez's successor nicolas maduro. as the u.s., mexico, and canada hold a major summit in mexico, u.s. border patrol agent shoots and kills a man you're the border in san diego after the agent was hit in the face with a rock. >> rocks are considered the full force. if we look at other zones of conflict around the globe, we have broker-deals to try to get rock throwing and lethal force taken out of the system, but we don't do that here the u.s.-mexico border. we can actually fire at rock throwers. >> all of that and more coming up. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. in ukraine, short-lived truce between the government and opposition protesters has broken down amidst the bloodiest period in the month-long uprising. at least 21 people have died just today in clashes between protesters and security forces. clear thato be very as we work through these next several days in ukraine, that we are going to be watching very carefully and we expect the ukr

to he government because of economic conditions or the people that have always been opposed to the chavez movement? people who have always been opposed to the chavez movement are there but increasing numbers of venezuelans beginning to see the in the criminality rate world, most disastrous situation economically is not the fault of everybody but the government as the government would like the people to believe but the fault government who can't manage the situation. under chavez -- do you have a t tipping point where enough with the s are fed up government that a government popularly elected and had the reinforced in local elections in december goes? that, quite a way from aren't we? >> i don't think we are there yet certainly. think there is room for negotiation. the government seems to be making signs that they are ooking for some type of negotiation. right now their invitation to negotiation is something akin to hate you, i despise you, but come sit with me. basically come listen to me. but i think it is possible that might get ontinue we an actual dialogue and i think you is possible

office is located, it's a cubicle space that is shared with three other staff members from cesar chavez. it's locked in the corner of the cafeteria that is designated to undergo construction as part of the plan. at that time, they will be moved from that corner of the cafeteria to another location within cesar chavez in another shared space there. our goal in working with the district staff is to identify a permanent location that fits the needs that were outlined by the pack. >> they will be staying at cesar chavez until the end of the school year, just move to another space? >> that is correct. unless we are able to find a permanent space so we wouldn't have to do a temporary move while they are under going construction in that particular area and then another move after that. >> so, if i may, i think since their servicing students that it's imperative and urgent that they are in a permanent space. that students that they serve are able to go to the location and aware of the location they are at. and then also, i think that if amongst their group, if they have a representative which i

hugo chavez seemed to be enamored with cuba and we've seen gi fidel castro led the marxist regime in cuba and influenced venezuela. it's hard to think of a venezuela that's been such a marxist thorn in the side, a belligerent hugo chavez who called our president the devil from new york city, from the united nations podium, went on with, i'll say a smelly description, that was offensive to anybody on the planet, let alone americans. but hugo chavez drove this marxist agenda in venezuela and handed it over to maduro, now we have another marxist regime oppressing its people, killing freep dom demonstraters -- demonstrators and dissidents and people who stand up for freedom and we haven't had a strong voice coming from the president of the united states, not a condemning voice, not a strong leadership that says to them, there's a reason you're running into shortages, and one thing the gentlelady didn't mention a shortage of toilet paper of all things. how can an oil rich country that's rich enough to promise free energy and foul to americans just a couple of years ago by hugo chavez, yet

effort through creating what you say a dramatic change a dramatic change over the years of those chavez government now we have to endure a government that did very little apparently to curb crime or to bring up the standard of living in the country that people appear to be frustrated with you don't think that's a factor. the standard of living for poor and working people has changed dramatically the standard of health care of education of and transcend to university on so many levels that the wealth that used to be absolutely hoarded by the super rich in venezuela and go also directly to u.s. corporate power. that has changed and changed in big ways and there's been real opposition to this ever since in two thousand and one president chavez passed the wealth the law of the land in terms of popularizing and distributing land to peasants and the law on the gas and oil and this was followed by an effort a coup against president chavez in two thousand and two and that has continued to this day it's taken an electoral form but it again and again has taken as it is happening around the world

longstanding concern that venezuelans have had about quality of democratic uninning tooks and the chavezent that has carried on under maduro. but there is also a government that has real support from a lot of people in venezuela. i think we are at the beginning of something and not in the middle and certainly not near the end. >> certainly maduro won the election last year, it was very tight but he won it. and then they won the government supporters won local elections in december. so it's a very divided nation and the government has that short that you mentioned. you also write the protests have a lack of structure that might give them some resilience no leader is position today provide direction. without that are the frosts goinprotestsgoing to fadeaway ly before them or this time is it different? >> this is what's complicate billion dollar about venezuela you righcomplicatedabout venture opposition parties that stood against chaff and he is maduro they are sort of in the background. the people leading these protests is a diverse group of active shifts in many cities and even within th

that's because many here have benefited greatly from the programs chavez funded. free medical care, schools and government housing. >> students like 18-year-old and her friends get a free university education thanks to chavez. they have not gone to a protest and don't plant to do so. >> translation: they don't know what they want. they are protesting because they have to buy flour and milk. the truth is they don't want nicolas maduro. it's the same old story. >> on sunday the opposition leader warned the students that the movement has little chance of succeeding if it doesn't spread to other sectors of society. >> i asked those who are protesting not to lock yourselves up with your own people. what good does that do. who will you convince by locking yourself in on your own streets when everyone there is convinced. >> how many hear his call may determine the future of the movement. >> federal prosecutors announced that they'll seek the extradition of joaquin guzman, the notorious drug lord. he was arrested in mexico yesterday. he faces federal charges in seven u.s.

sore would prove more susceptible to diplomatic outreach, that he might not follow chavez. these hopes apparently evergreen as just yesterday a state department spokeswoman announced that they were open to closer engagement with the maduro regime saying -- quote -- "we have indicated and have indicated for months our openness to develop a more constructive relationship with venezuela." negotiating with tyrants in belize doesn't work. the notion that our state department could at this moment extend yet another olive branch to caracas is exactly backwards. this is the moment to point out that maduro's abuse of his fellow citizens is intolerable to the united states, that if he wants better relations with us he should start by listening to the demands of his own people. he should immediately and unconditionally rehraoez leopoldo lopez being held at the hostage at the mercy of an authoritarian state. he should lift the cloud of censorship he's using to isolate venezualans from each other and the rest of the world. and the united states should do all it can to help the people of

there is a lot of opposition to oduro, the successor to hugo chavez.iled to win elections, but also because of their own lack of organization. what you see in this demonstration, there are new threats, lot of students involved. that is why they were kicked out. basically provoking them. >> pushing for regime change. >> exactly, that is why oduro wants to turn this into an argument about the u.s.'s interference instead of his own poor performance. >> did we do it? >> well, i'm sure we didn't. this is a regime that is not only a problem for chavez, but funding left wing radical groups, trying to destabilize the groups in latin america. maduro has to cement his popularity in venezuela, but if he is able to do that, that threat will repair. >> is this the kind of movement we should get behind? these student protesters? >> well, the obama administration even more than the bush administration tries to stay out of this, i wouldn't hesitate, i think american interests here would be better served with the hugo chavez movement out of power. and i think if you ha
