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.
