Chavez attempts to disqualify Gaviria’s role at the UN

January 16, 2003

In his usual style, which the world is quickly learning about, Hugo Chavez attempted to disqualify the role being played by OAS Secretary General in the negotiatoions taking place in Venezuela, during his visit to the UN. Chavez said that he had invited Gaviria to Venezuela as an individual and not as a representative of the OAS. This is simply false and was immediately met with a forceful response by the always diplomatic Gaviria who said “there can be no mistake about my presence in Venezuela, I was invited by the Democratic Coordinator and it was discussed in the OAS what my mandate was and, with the presence of Venezuela, it was approved and is in a resolution”. The world is learning about Chavez very quickly. Chavez also said what is happening in Venezuela is subeversion by the right-wing,w hich I simply refuse to even comment about, it would imply 70% of Venezuelans are right-wing which is simply laughable.
