Venezuela Accuses Uribe
of Favoring Clash
The strained relations
between Venezuela and
Colombia largely depend
on the next steps by
Colombian President
Alvaro Uribe, whom local
media accuse of
fostering a war
conflict.
"It is up to the
Colombian side to decide
whether or not to
continue with the police
of aggressions against
Venezuela," Roy Daza,
president of the
parliamentary commission
for foreign policy
warned today.
Daza told Venevision TV
channel that if
President Uribe presents
accusations against
Venezuela for alleged
link with Colombian
guerrillas then "it
wants war."
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez yesterday
accused Uribe for joint
responsibility in what
he called "show" by the
International Police
about a report on
computers allegedly
seized to Colombian
guerrilla leader Raul
Reyes.
According to Chavez, the
INTERPOL intends to make
believe alleged
documents linking
Ecuador and Venezuela
with the guerrilla,
found in computers they
said belonged to Reyes.
Regarding that, Daza
recalled "the links
Venezuela has had with
FARC have been requested
by Uribe" to mediate the
release of people in the
hands of FARC. |
