Just in: Venezuela regime lashes out at musicians
mainWe have received pictures of the latest Government-inspired thuggery in Caracas.
A horn player is snatched off the streets. His name, we think, is Frederick Pinto.
And the operatic tenor Victor Lopez Pacheco is beaten with a stick by the Venezuelan National Guard.
The ‘socialist’ regime in Caracas is warmly supported by Jeremy Corbyn, Ken Livingstone and the rest of the British Labour leadership.
It is also warmly supported by El Sistema. http://fundamusical.org.ve/prensa/el-sistema-dio-a-conocer-su-modelo-pedagogico-y-artistico-en-la-sede-de-las-naciones-unidas-en-viena/
… which is ironic considering that the horn player is an El Sistema musician.
