Destabilization Plans Revealed in Venezuela
CARACAS.- Venezuela's state security agencies have detected plans of a destabilization process in the country to be set in motion if opposition presidential candidate Manuel Rosales remains without a prayer to win the December 3 elections.
The revelation came in a commentary in the Vea newspaper, and also assures that extra measures have been taken to protect the life of President Hugo Chavez.
"A new element has been added: a possible connection with the sophisticated Israeli secret service, Mossad, capable of doing absolutely anything," assured the journalist.
Chavez warned Saturday that US President George W. Bush had ordered his assassination after the Venezuelan president's speech at the UN General Assembly last Wednesday. In his address, Chavez dubbed Bush as the "devil."
Chavez also noted that there is an undermining process in progress through the manipulation of opinion polls on the presidential elections.
There is an interest in disclosing false numbers pointing to a supposed advance by opposition candidate Manuel Rosales, said Chavez who described Rosales as the "candidate of the [US] empire."
