Chigüwin!

Francisco Toro July 24, 2009

Chigüi says: “PDVSA Anaco workers protest for their rights, but in favor of Chávez, but against the government, but with the revolution!”

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
