Peru recalls ambassador to
Venezuela
The Peruvian government
announced on Wednesday that it
will recall its ambassador to
Venezuela, in response to
Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez's public support to
Peruvian leftist presidential
candidate Ollanta Humala.
Hugo Chavez's public support for
Ollanta Humala is seen as the
intervention in the internal
affairs of Peru, the Peruvian
Foreign Ministry said in a press
release on Wednesday.
The Peruvian government will
make efforts to ensure the
success of the presidential
election, to be held in April,
and will not allow any
intervention in the poll, the
ministry added.
President Chavez met with Humala
and Bolivian President-elect Evo
Morales on Tuesday in Caracas,
Venezuela.
Both Chavez and Morales offered
support to Humala, who led a
fruitless military rebellion
against former President Alberto
Fujimori in 2000, and was
pardoned by the parliament after
Fujimori stepped down.
Recent polls showed that Humala
ran ahead of other presidential
candidates.
