Venezuela Wary of US Hawks
Ten days after the President
Hugo Chavez electoral victory
with almost 63 percent of the
votes Venezuela is expecting for
the facts to work out Washington
s confused declarations on the
intended bilateral links.
The first vagueness appeared
shortly after release of the
electoral results that prove the
popular majority support of
Chavez.
"We congratulate the Venezuelan
people for having held
successful democratic
elections", said the White House
spokesman Tony Snow while the
State Undersecretary Thomas
Shannon declared similarly
after.
The lack of recognition for the
winner was balanced with Shannon
s further declarations on the
intention to improve relations
with Venezuela compare to what
the US ambassador William
Brownfield said here.
After been questioned on the
perspective of the relations
starting from Shannon expression
The Venezuelan Vice President
Jose Vicente Rangel clarified
that his country is expecting
for "a letter of good behaviour"
from the US government.
"We never know where the US
policies are coming from,"
warned Rangel for whom any
action Washington makes more
flexible in relation to Latin
America is due mainly to the
advance of the popular
democratic movements and the
establishment of elections.
"All of these must worry the old
US leadership particularly the
hawks of US politics", stressed
the Venezuelan Vice President.
The Vice President of the
Venezuelan Republic and Chavez
ratified their will to hold
talks with US in order to solve
the differences but under the
conditions of respect to the
national sovereignty.
