Next week, Scripps College host two Venezuelan officials who will reportedly laud the “grassroots initiatives” of the country’s totalitarian government in a three-part speaking series. Venezuelan Consul-Generals Antonio Cordero and Jesus Chucho Garcia, will lecture on “African solidarities,” “coups and imperial wars,” and Venezuela’s plans for “a new society rooted in political participation, communal economies and democracy,” according to the Claremont Independent.
This is the second go-round for Cordero, who was funded and invited by the college to speak last semester, when he tried to gloss over the human rights abuses committed in his country.
