US Interference in Venezuela Unacceptable: La Jornada

Mexico, Dec 2 (Prensa Latina) The interference of the US in Venezuelan
domestic affairs constitutes an unacceptable attempt of rejecting the
principle of free determination of peoples, Mexican paper La Jornada
affirms Sunday.

An editorial of the paper indicates it is being done with a view to
impose on that country a neoliberal model, despite not meeting the
needs or interests of the Venezuelan people.

La Jornada adds that the latent threat of an attack aimed at
overthrowing the legally constituted government of Venezuela is put
into perspective.

It begins with a false defense of democracy, as in Iraq, but it
involves illegal and deeply undemocratic aspirations, because in
addition to the control of oil, it wants to demolish a government not
bowing to Washington, it adds.

La Jornada says that Venezuelans should weigh the risks that
the interventionist spirit of the US implies for the sovereignty of
their nation.

On the other hand, it emphasizes that the US government should not
ignore the warning made by President Hugo Chavez on the immediate
cancellation of oil supplies to that country in case it sabotages the
referendum on the constitutional reform.

It emphasizes the US receives from Venezuela 11 percent of the oil it
consumes, indispensable amount to maintain the largest economy of the
planet, fuel that Caracas could sell to China or India.

What is desirable is that the vote of Venezuelans (regarding the
referendum of constitutional reforms) be respected, because they are
the only ones to decide the destiny of that State, it concludes.
