Peru investigates the ties of ALBA houses with the FARC

Latin America  

Walter Menchola, a member of the Unidad Nacional party and chairman of the Peruvian Congress committee that is investigating the alleged meddling of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) houses in the internal affairs of Peru, announced an upcoming meeting with Colombian tax authorities to obtain information on the alleged links of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) with groups of ideological interference in the region.

"Our goal is to obtain the information contained in one of the computers that were seized by the Colombian military to late FARC leader Raúl Reyes. We hope we will get a quick response to do so," he said.

Menchola added that the trip to Colombia will shed light on some versions that connect the so-called ALBA houses to the Colombian terrorist movement, through the so-called Coordinadora Bolivariana (Bolivarian Coordination,) driven by Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez.

04:17 PM. Western Hemisphere. "Damned empire; I curse you one thousand times; some day you will be finished off and wrecked. I curse you one thousand times, empire." This is the least that President Hugo Chávez has uttered to refer to the US government. In urging the Bolivarian Armed Forces to prepare for war, he said that a US raid on Venezuela through Colombia would trigger and spread over the region "the 100-year war."
