Fradulent Mexican "president" Felipe Calderon is visiting the UK this Sunday and Monday. His first major act since taking office in December, having stolen the vote, has been to crush the social movement in Oaxaca, which has been mobilising against a corrupt and murderous local governor.

Fradulent Mexican "president" Felipe Calderon is visiting the UK this Sunday and Monday. His first major act since taking office in December, having stolen the vote, has been to crush the social movement in Oaxaca, which has been mobilising against a corrupt and murderous local governor.

Calderon is visiting Britain after attending the World Economic Forum in Davos and will be meeting with Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett on Sunday and will be holding a press conference at Downing Street on Monday.

There will be two protests organised by a variety of groups and individuals, including Hands Off Venezuela - the first one outside the Foreign Office on King Charles St, off Whitehall, this Sunday (28th) 2-5pm, then on Monday (29th) 2-5pm on Whitehall, opposite Downing Street, for the press conference.

It's really important to make an impact and to have as many people as possible at these protests, so please try and make it if you can!

Hands Off Venezuela!
