		The so-called "Caracazo," of February 27, 1989" was the response of the poor to a crisis that affected them the most.
		The Caracazo was nothing else but the explosion of an accumulated and insolvable crisis, a significant one indeed.
		In 1975, the oil industry, which was in the hands of Exxon, Shell and BP was "nationalized" in such a way that the presidents of these foreign companies in Venezuela remained as presidents of three different PDVSA-affiliated companies Maraven, Lagoven and Corpoven--that were created after the nationalization.

		The Caracazo as the event became known, not only destroyed Venezuela’s aura of stability but put an end to the political system that had replaced the ousted military dictator Perez Jimenez in 1958.
		Although the 1989 Caracazo emerged as an unplanned response to a set of new measure, the uprising also symbolized years of discontent over government corruption.
		The Caracazo destroyed the shady Perez, the prestige of the two major parties, and it opened the door to a more radical politics, outside the party structure.

	First Person: Venezuela Fault Lines - Remembering Rich and Poor in Caracas
		I arrived to live there with my family a few months after the Caracazo of February 1989, a watershed demonstration when the streets of the capital erupted in furious protests by poor residents that stunned its once-complacent elites and redrew the political map in the nation of 24 million.
		The memory of that Caracazo was certainly behind the massive resistance of slum-dwellers who helped restore President Hugo Chavez to power last weekend.
		Before the Caracazo, the country was still regarded a model South American democracy.

	London - Successful commemoration of the 18th anniversary of the “Caracazo”
		Only the heroic work of a handful of independent journalists and media activists was finally able to reveal the real size and scope of the repression.
		The focus of the screenings and the debate was the strikingly similar role played by the media in relation to the Caracazo and during the April 11, 2002 coup against Chávez.
		These events demonstrate that the capitalist media consistently defend the interests of the ruling class whenever they are put at risk, no matter who is in office at that particular moment in time.
