Western Hemisphere
President Hugo Chávez denied that Venezuelan military are entering Honduras, as reported by some media.
"We will never do that because of the holly respect for Honduran sovereignty. We are here to provide support, while respecting the Honduran people," said the Venezuelan ruler during a meeting of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) held in Nicaragua, reported state-run news agency ABN.
Further, Chávez demanded demonstrations of solidarity with Honduras, not mere statements. "It is not enough to voice a condemnation. We are calling for demonstrations of solidarity with the Honduran people and the constitutional president of the country, Manuel Zelaya," said the Venezuelan head of State.

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.
