The protests in Bolivia and Venezuela.

I've been hearing that there were protests in Bolivia and Venezuela lately. So, I have a question, what do these protests mean and are they a threat to the Bolivarian Revolution. I am deeply concerned about this.

In Venezuela it's an another show of the oposition.
This not the first hunger strike in front of the OAS offices, tofay the oponents want the liberation of the politicians jailled (for coruption and murder) who called them : "politicals prisoners".

In 2009 Julio Cesar Rivas make the same protest : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-OFX3PpUSY

In Bolivia there is a real problem of food price.

This. I would add though, albeit being legitimate demands, that the capitalists have always used demands similar to this to topple anti-imperialist governments.

Venezuela, 1st it is an AP article that is to put it nicely: vague. 2nd, students have traditionally been more middle class and petty bourgeois in Venezuela, something comparable to Tiananmen Square in China. 3rd if I could get an international organization to investigate rights abuses in the USA just by sitting outside of the international organizations HQ in that country, you'd be damned sure I'd be on hunger strike.

Well, the question still is this: How is Bolivia doing and do the protests there pose a risk to the Morales government? Also, is there a website that reports on what is going on in Bolivia? I am concerned about this because I don't want the people of Bolivia and Venezuela to have everything destroyed.
