Salvadorian President Antonio Saca Thursday instructed a Salvadorian diplomatic envoy to Caracas to return to El Salvador for consultations "on the reported Venezuelan financing to the (leftwing) Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) for the 2009 election."

Last Tuesday, Washington published a report on the threats against the US national security, and suggested that President Hugo Chávez was expected to provide "generous" funds to the FMLN to secure a victory in the 2009 presidential vote.

Saca told reporters accompanying him in his visit to the United States that he had recalled the diplomat envoy to Venezuela, but he would not disclose the official's name or position, DPA reported.

"We are instructing the diplomat to return to El Salvador to provide first hand information on this topic," Saca declared.

"I do not want to make any irresponsible remarks. I need first-hand information, and therefore the Foreign Minister is making the relevant steps."

Further, Saca instructed Salvadorian Foreign Minister Marisol Argueta de Barillas to contact his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro.

"Any interference of a government such as Venezuela's in El Salvador's domestic affairs is unacceptable," said Saca, who ordered an investigation into the US claims, daily newspaper La Prensa Gráfica's reported on its website.
