🖊OPINION | Venezuela: Between Imperial Intervention and Class Suicide
Joan López and Alejandro Pedregal analyze Venezuela's post-January 3 setbacks and the broader implications for the anti-imperialist struggle.
On January 3, 2026, a US military operation in Caracas resulted in the abduction of Nicolás Maduro and more than 90 deaths. In the weeks that followed, Venezuelan authorities advanced a reform of the hydrocarbon law allowing foreign companies to directly market oil production and ending the state monopoly on exports. The reform “eliminates any remaining obstacles to private operational control of that sector.”
This opinion piece links these developments to shifts in economic policy and foreign relations following the change in leadership.

A US federal judge has declined to dismiss the case against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores during a hearing in Brooklyn.

🗒️🗣️ INTERVIEW | Carlos Mendoza Potellá: ‘The Hydrocarbon Law Reform Is a Surrender of Venezuelan Sovereignty’
Venezuelan economist Carlos Mendoza Potellá has sharply criticized the recent reform of the Hydrocarbon Law, describing it as a structural shift in the country’s oil governance.
According to Mendoza Potellá, the reform “meets the maximum demands that the Venezuelan right and the oil conglomerates have been making for at least the last 25 years,” while reintroducing concessions and expanding corporate control over production and costs.
He argues that key mechanisms of sovereignty are being weakened, including oversight institutions and the role of national courts: “The return of international arbitration is also a brutal setback (…) disputes are not settled in Venezuelan courts.”

Joropo, Venezuela’s most widespread traditional rhythm, was declared national cultural heritage in 2014 and was later inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2025, recognizing it as a living cultural system rooted in community practices.
In Caracas, the third “Mujer Joropo” gathering brought together more than 20 women artists, highlighting their role as creators, performers, and transmitters of ancestral knowledge across generations.
Such initiatives seek to address women’s unequal participation in the artistic sphere while contributing to the preservation and promotion of joropo as an ongoing cultural practice.

Shell is reportedly in advanced negotiations with the Venezuelan government to expand its offshore natural gas operations, according to Reuters. The company is seeking rights to develop four fields: Dragon, Río Caribe, Patao, and Mejillones, alongside accelerating work on the Loran field.
If agreements are reached, Shell could access up to 20 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves. The strategy involves processing Venezuelan gas into LNG using infrastructure in Trinidad and Tobago, which currently has idle capacity.
The talks follow Venezuela’s 2026 hydrocarbon law reform, which expanded incentives for private investment, but face hurdles including unresolved ownership stakes and regulatory conditions.

🖊🗞COLUMN | From the Insolent Foreign Boot to the Carmona Decree, 1902-2002
Venezuela’s oil policy has been closely linked to disputes over national sovereignty and foreign influence throughout the 20th century. The 1902 naval blockade marked the beginning of sustained external pressure, followed by the 1908 coup and the expansion of foreign oil concessions in the 1920s.
Reforms such as the 1943 Hydrocarbons Law increased the state’s share of oil revenues, and the 1976 creation of PDVSA formalized state control over the sector. In the 1990s, neoliberal policies reduced royalties and expanded foreign participation. The 2002 coup attempt came after efforts to reassert state control over oil resources.
In the latest Insurgent History column, Rosanna Álvarez, Venezuelan historian and iconographic researcher, documents the role of Venezuela’s elite in these developments, particularly through the oil industry.
