Chavez expresses support for Bolivia's embattled president
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
said Tuesday that his government and the Venezuelan people support
Bolivia's embattled President Carlos Mesa, hoping Mesa would complete
his term of office.
Mesa submitted resignation to Senate leader Hormando Vaca Diez on Monday
amid waves of protests against his policies.
Chavez told reporters in Doha, Qatar, that he had phoned Mesa to show
solidarity, according to a Venezuelan official news agency.
Chavez said he was concerned over the current situation in Bolivia,
saying he does not hope to see instability in Latin America as well as
in other regions of the world.
Bolivia's trade unions, unhappy with the government's natural gas
policies, organized demonstrations that paralyzed traffic and social
disorder.
