📰 NEWS | Venezuela’s Rodríguez Signs Chevron Deals Awarding New Oil Drilling Areas, Increased Stakes
Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez signed new agreements with US oil company Chevron to expand operations in the Orinoco Oil Belt. The contracts grant access to the Ayacucho 8 bloc and increase Chevron’s stake in Petroindependencia to 49%, while the company will relinquish its participation in the Loran gas field.
The deals were enabled by Venezuela’s recent Hydrocarbon Law reform, which allows greater private sector control, reduces royalties and taxes, and permits international arbitration in disputes.

VA columnist Jessica Dos Santos documents how a grassroots initiative is helping Cota 905 overcome its stigma of armed gangs and police violence.
Between 2014 and 2021, Cota 905 in Caracas was under the control of armed gangs, impacting around 300,000 residents and limiting access to services. In 2021, the government launched Operation Gran Cacique Indio Guaicaipuro, deploying 34 checkpoints as part of a large-scale security intervention.
Following these events, a community initiative called “The Cota 905 Tour: A Thousand Stories, Over a Hundred Murals, One Route” was developed. The project includes more than 100 murals and was created with participation from residents, artists, and local collectives. It has been officially recognized by Venezuela’s Ministry of Tourism.

Venezuela has set up a Commission for the Evaluation of Public Assets to assess the “strategic” value of state-owned enterprises and determine their future. According to Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, assets will be classified into four groups: those to remain under state control, those entering private-sector management agreements, those to be fully privatized, and those to be liquidated or reassigned.
The move comes amid broader economic adjustments and renewed engagement with international financial institutions. Analysts indicate that industries operating at low capacity, including steel and cement, could be candidates for privatization, while extractive sectors such as oil and mining are drawing investor attention.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Heyerde López: ‘Our Challenge Is Staying True as a Left-Wing Organization’
In the latest VA interview, activist Heyerde López reflects on the structural challenges facing grassroots organizing in Venezuela, pointing to the difficulty of sustaining long-term projects while maintaining political coherence. López, a member of "Fundación Nativa Crea" in Guarenas, frames this as a central tension: “The main challenge is staying true to our identity as a left-wing organization,” he says, highlighting mounting economic pressures and contradictions in the relationship between popular power initiatives and state institutions.
US sanctions and restrictions on wheat imports forced the closure of the group’s community bakery and café, key nodes in its local production network. The experience underscores how external constraints continue to impact grassroots economic initiatives. The collective is now working to relaunch these projects, with an emphasis on rebuilding communal forms of production and strengthening local productive capacity.
Despite these setbacks, "Fundación Nativa Crea" remains embedded in broader networks of communes and social movements, while expanding its work in political education, communications, and grassroots production.

Venezuela has reestablished ties with the International Monetary Fund. But what comes next?
After years of isolation, Caracas could gain access to roughly $5 billion in Special Drawing Rights, funds it hopes to use to stabilize essential services like electricity and water.
In the short term, the move offers relief.
In the long term, it raises deeper questions.
Venezuela’s external debt is estimated at up to $170 billion, and any broader financial engagement could reopen the door to negotiations with creditors and potential IMF-backed programs. For a country with a long and contentious history with the Fund, the stakes are high: access to liquidity versus the risk of increased financial dependence.
Is this a step toward recovery or the beginning of a new cycle of debt?
