Venezuela Faces
International Media War
The Venezuelan
government is at the eye
of an international
media campaign aimed at
promoting
destabilization and
tarnish the image of the
country, in contrast to
the recent steps giant
toward integration.
According to President
Hugo Chavez, one such
action deals with the
alleged existence in
Venezuelan territory of
camps of the rebel
Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Other stories refer to
this nation as an ideal
spot for drug
trafficking, and say the
solution could be the
presence of armed forces
from other countries to
end those alleged
irregularities.
In this connection,
Chavez urged the US and
its allies to not play
with fire, as it would
be really sad if "its
world domination efforts
lead to a war between
brothers" but, he
sustained, "we all know
it is capable of doing
that and a lot more."
Meanwhile, Venezuelan
Foreign Minister Nicolas
Maduro affirmed from
Montevideo that such
moves are an attempt to
justify the Colombian
government's abrupt
discontinuation of
President Chavez'
fruitful endeavors for a
humanitarian pact in
that country.
Similarly, there are
intentions to involve
Caracas in the case of
tycoon Guido Antonino,
accused a few weeks ago
of trying to smuggle
800,000 dollars into
Argentina.
Washington is now trying
to link that case with
the argument that the
money was to fund the
campaign of Argentine
President Cristina
Fernandez, which Chavez
called a great lie.
