Defending Venezuela: Bolivarian Gains and Successes (Podcast – Interview – Fra Hughes)


Orinoco Tribune – News and opinion pieces about Venezuela and beyond
From Venezuela and made by Venezuelan Chavistas

In this episode, we sit down with Belfast based socialist Fra Hughes to discuss all things Venezuela. His recent first-hand experience of the country proved an excellent framework to discuss all things relating to the Bolivarian Revolution and how that currently affects the modern Venezuelan state.
“We’ve been told that there is a huge, overwhelming problem in Venezuela when in reality there is a fully functioning state that should be allowed to thrive”
Fra Hughes
