📰 NEWS | Chevron and Shell to Strike Oil Deals Under Reformed Hydrocarbon Law Chevron and Shell are moving to secure new oil deals in Venezuela after the country reformed its Hydrocarbon Law to provide improved conditions for private energy corporations. According to Reuters, Chevron will expand operations in the Orinoco Oil Belt through the Petropiar joint venture, entering the Ayacucho 8 bloc to increase extra-heavy crude output. Petropiar currently produces around 90,000 barrels per day. Shell is expected to take over operations in PDVSA’s Punta de Mata division in Monagas state under a model allowing the state oil company to lease projects to private operators in exchange for a share of production. The legislative reform, approved in January, allows the Venezuelan executive to reduce royalties and income taxes and grants minority partners greater control over operations and sales.

🖊OPINION | US Imperialism Enters a New Stage: The Left Needs to Take a Close Look at It Steve Ellner takes stock of a new stage of US imperialism and the role of the Left in challenging its advance. The column states that US foreign policy has placed Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba in a “de facto state of war,” marked by sanctions, military measures, and enforcement actions. It cites the January 3, 2026 kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, alongside expanded US monitoring and interdiction of oil shipments. At the same time, it argues that the Left must reassess its analysis, give greater weight to resistance against US aggression, and frame its criticism of governments within the context of sustained external pressure.

📑🖊 OPINION | What July 5th Taught Me That July 4th Never Did Michelle Ellner, a Venezuelan-American activist and CODEPINK campaigner, reflects on what July 5th in Venezuela taught her that July 4th in the U.S. never did.

Ellner recalls the 2002 U.S.-backed coup against Chávez and a broader campaign of economic warfare that continues under Nicolás Maduro. “True independence,” she writes, “is the right to choose your own path without being punished for it.” Read the full opinion piece here: https://shorturl.at/wTnKc #Sanctions#USVenezuelaRelations
