COHA Webinar: What Is True and What Is False? Numa Molina on the Challenges Facing Venezuela

Numa Molina is a Venezuelan Jesuit priest, theologian, journalist, and political commentator whose public life brings together Christian faith, liberation theology, anti-imperialism, and commitment to the Bolivarian Revolution. He was a friend of Pope Francis, Father Miguel d’Escoto, and President Hugo Chávez, and remains a friend of President Nicolás Maduro and of Cuba and Nicaragua. For Molina, politics and theology are inseparable from solidarity with the poor and the struggle for sovereignty; as he has said, “We must live with the poor, as the poor, and from the perspective of the poor” (venezuelanalysis.com).

The Bolivarian Revolution faces enormous difficulties as a result of the sanctions, economic warfare, and direct intervention waged by successive American administrations against the Venezuelan people. Venezuelan sovereignty has been severely compromised by U.S. efforts to impose political outcomes from abroad, culminating in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. Now, in the aftermath of that attack on national sovereignty and the catastrophic earthquake of June 24, Venezuela appears to be entering a new era marked by immense political, economic, social, and humanitarian challenges.

Numa Molina’s upcoming webinar will cut through the noise on these fast-moving events, distinguishing truth from falsehood as the Bolivarian project—across Venezuela and beyond—navigates this harsh new reality.
