📑🖊 OPINION | US Reinstates Funding to Propaganda Outlet: NED Weaponizes “Democracy” in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) resumed most of its operations in March 2025 after a brief funding freeze. The U.S.-funded body is now backing over 260 projects across Latin America and the Caribbean with more than $40 million.

In their latest opinion piece, John Perry and Roger D. Harris trace the funding streams and tactics behind U.S. interference, revealing how the NED operates behind the guise of civil society support. “The role of the NED in these countries is not to promote democracy, but to manipulate it in favor of Washington’s interests.”

📰 NEWS | Venezuela Warns Against US Travel Over ‘Arbitrary Detention’ Risk Amid 350,000 Migrants Losing TPS

The Venezuelan government has issued a travel warning for the US, urging its citizens to consider leaving due to the risk of arbitrary detention and deportation. This comes after the US Supreme Court ended TPS protections for 350,000 Venezuelans.

In March, 252 Venezuelans were deported under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act and sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, many without a criminal record. Caracas is coordinating legal efforts for their release and has repatriated nearly 5,000 migrants since March.

📰 NEWS | Chevron Receives Opaque Authorization to Conduct Limited Operations Inside Venezuela

Chevron has received a new specific license from the US Treasury to operate in Venezuela, though unlike previous ones, the license remains unpublished and details are unclear. Sources say Chevron is barred from oil extraction or exports and must transfer operational control to PDVSA.

In response, Venezuela is rerouting crude shipments originally allocated to Chevron toward China, selling through intermediaries to avoid US sanctions. Analysts expect a 15–30% drop in national oil output by late 2025.

📑🖊 OPINION | Ballots and Bias: How the Press Framed Venezuela’s Regional and Legislative Elections

Roger D. Harris analyzes how Western media framed Venezuela’s recent regional and legislative elections, where the pro-government alliance won 253 out of 285 National Assembly seats and all but one governorship. This included a symbolic victory in Barinas, birthplace of Hugo Chávez, won by his brother Adán Chávez.

Harris highlights the disconnect between the electoral outcome and how it was reported by major outlets, which largely ignored grassroots support, the communal movement, and legal efforts to assert sovereignty.
