There appears to be important divergences within the Chavez administration. Last night, Chavez’ negotiationg tema met with OAS Secreatary and made an announcemnet that they were going back to the negotiating table. Half an hour ago, one of them was on nationwide TV calling the strike “virtual” and saying that they were on their way to talk to Gaviria. A few minutes ago, a representative of the opposition came on TV and said that the Government was playing a media game as the talks were scheduled for this morning and the Government’s negotiators have yet to show up. Apparently, there are significant differences within the Governemnt as to whqat may or may not be agreed on the negotiationg table, so significant that the team has not even been allowed to go to the Hotel where the negotiations are taking place.

Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
