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.
