[NYTr] Venezuela Communists Knock US Plot Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:03:58 -0500 (CDT) Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit Prensa Latina, Havana http://www.plenglish.com Venezuela Communists Knock US Plot Caracas, Oct 29 (Prensa Latina) The Communist Party of Venezuela denounced on Monday that the US is involved in a subversive plan to thwart the constitutional reform in that country, due to its hopelessness to do so through democratic ways. Tribuna Popular, organ of the organization's Central Committee, affirmed that between October 7 and 9, US representatives met with Venezuelan opposition sectors to plot the actions. The source indicated that in the meetings, the opposition was urged to convene social uprisings, sabotage the economy and infrastructure, destroy the food transportation chain and plan a military coup. Former US National Security Director Paul Wolfowitz, and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, among others, attended the meetings. The denunciation sustains the move is in line with calls by "Comando de la Resistencia" (Resistance Command) led by Antonio Ledezma, Henry Ramos, Oswaldo Alvarez, Herman Escarra, and Gabriel Puerta to stop the constitutional reform. In statements to press, Escarra asked the population to go to the streets until "the government collapses" through a supposed "people's insurrection." According to Tribuna Popular, students from private and state universities are the cannon fodder, and the so called popular networks of social democracy organized by Chacao's mayor Leopoldo Lopez are the mobilizing mechanism. ef dig ml mf PL-11 * ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us Our main website: http://www.blythe.org List Archives: http://blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/ Subscribe: http://blythe-systems.com/mailman/listinfo/nytr =================================================================
