More than 1500 workers marched... against the killing of two workers who, together with their fellow comrades, were resisting the attack by the Mitsubishi bosses, the judges and the police force.

"Where are the killers? We are not prepared to accept any more killings by a class which has always held economic power, has held political power, has used the laws to their own benefit, and has constantly attacked us. They want to stop our struggle, because they fear the consciousness that the people have developed, the unity between workers and the communities. Justice is blind in front of the weak, those who have nothing. Enough of this blindness against the poor and the working people!

"We want this blindfold to be removed and for justice to be made to all those who have been killed in this process of change. Many peasants have been killed and the media and the bosses have hidden their deaths. Many comrades have died from the communal councils, leaders who fought for the rights of their communities, assassinated.

"We had a minute silence. We must use it to unite so that once and for all we fight for justice for those martyrs who have died in the struggle to change this inhuman and unfair system.

It's very alarming that incidents like this continue to happen in Venezuela. It's good to hear Chavez condemning the killings but what is to happen to the police?

It's already been said that the police involved in this crime would be put to justice.

There's a huge working class movement in Venezuela. I don't believe Hugo Chavez's reformist policies and ideology are the best chance at Venezuelan socialism and liberation, but it's good to see a movement of the proletariat united against reactionary conservatism and exploitation. Still, the social reforms and socialist-esque policies should be supported and cherished.

Its funny how the media whenever it chooses to broadcast something about Venezuela is when the workers organize on their own, which would prove that the class struggle Chavez talks about is not b.s. nor does it show the crimes reactionary bastards in Venezuela do
