Hillary Clinton Denies that the U.S. is Orchestrating a Campaign Against Venezuela
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is denying that the United States is scheming a campaign against the Venezuelan government, in response to the accusations made by the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
“[The United States] has never been involved in any activities whatsoever against Venezuela or any Venezuelan,” declared Clinton in a press conference with her Brazilian counterpart Celso Amorim in the Palace of Itamaraty.
Last Monday, Chavez accused United States of contemplating a “scheme against his government.” The charges were made after the release of the annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, compiled by the Department of State and a judge in the National Court of Spain. The report specified alleged links among Venezuela, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Basque group ETA.
“It is like an orchestra: Everyone gets together. In Spain, the royal audience, in Washington as well. . .It’s clear that this is not a coincidence. It’s an orchestrated effort and behind it all is the Yankee empire,” the Venezuelan president commented from Montevideo, where he attended the swearing in ceremony of the new president Jose Mujica.
This Monday, Eloy Velasca, the judge from the National Court of Spain, linked Venezuela’s government with an alleged cooperation between the FARC and ETA, with the sole purpose of supposedly planning the assassination of the Colombian president, Alvaro Uribe.
Along with the judge’s accusations, the report indicts Venezuela again as a country supposedly in collaboration with drug trafficking, an accusation categorically denied by the Venezuelan president.
“We don’t care what the empire does against us. They won’t succeed against us, because we represent millions,” Hugo Chavez has stated.
