France praises Chávez's appeal to the guerrillas
The French government valued positively on Tuesday everything
that helps release the hostages held by the Colombian Revolutionary
Armed Forces (FARC), such as an appeal previously made by Venezuelan
President Hugo Chávez.
France views as "positive anything that helps find a humanitarian
solution to free the hostages, particularly Colombian-French
Ingrid Betancourt," said the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, Pascale Andréani, when queried about Chávez's
comments.
Last Sunday, the Venezuelan president asked the FARC, particularly
Alfonso Cano, the new guerrilla leader and successor of deceased
Manuel Marulanda, to release the hostages "for nothing."
