Paraguay should be on guard vis-à-vis the scope of the military agreement Bolivia and Venezuela initialed last May 26, as it represents a threat, said the newspaper Abc Color in its editorial on Sunday.

The daily asserted that under the "cooperation" agreement signed between President Hugo Chávez and his Bolivian counterpart Evo Morales for the construction of military bases on the border with Paraguay, "underlies a hidden political position that is very ample," AP reported.

The report also noticed that 37.5 percent of the inhabitants in La Paz, the siege of the Bolivian Government, and the locality of El Alto, showed "disagreement" with the plans for Venezuela to build military bases in Bolivia, according to a private survey disclosed by DPA.

The poll conducted by San Francisco de Asís University concluded that 23.4 percent "are strongly opposed" to the pact, while only 24.2 percent "agreed" with the alliance.
