Peruvian Congress' Speaker denounces Chávez's meddling

World Javier Velázquez Quesquén, the president of the Peruvian Congress and member of the Aprista Party, denounced in Chile the interference of Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez, who through some political operators would be undermining democracy in his country.

In an interview with Chilean newspaper El Mercurio, Velásquez said that the Chávez's movement "has some political operators in my country who are undermining democracy through disguised movements, such as the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) houses, which are interfering in the political arena."

Asked about the support that the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) recently gave to Presidente Evo Morales, the congressman said that Peru is in favor of self-determination of peoples. Without mentioning the Venezuelan leader, he said, in reference to Bolivia:  "we reject that third countries purport to appear as saviors or meddling in the internal affairs of other countries," AFP reported.

Works flying high

Over the past five years, it has been awarded contracts for works to be carried out in Venezuela for over USD 14 billion. This puts it as the first recipient of government-to-government contracts, that is, without bidding, since Hugo Chávez took office.
