Venezuela: Hundreds Gather to Defend Social Gains

Hundreds of Venezuelans took to the streets on Thursday to express their support for the social gains made during the Bolivarian Revolution. Fearful of losing freedom and social benefits after recent elections gave the right wing a majority vote in the Legislative Assembly, supporters of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro have vowed to continue with the revolution. Maduro proposed to address the country’s economic woes by holding a grassroots economic congress next Wednesday. teleSUR
