Peruvian President Alan Garcia Takes On Hugo Chavez

J.J. Jackson* | November 14, 2006 

CARACAS, Venezuela: Peruvian President Alan Garcia railed against Venezuela’s foreign policy and the country’s president, Hugo Chavez, saying the leftist leader has used a mix of petrodollars, blackmail and insults to divide rather than unite Latin America.

Garcia told the Venezuelan daily El Universal in an interview published Sunday that Chavez “exercises power with a club or bag of money, blackmail and seduction.”

Good to see there is still some sanity left in South America where the communists are hoping and praying they will be able to establish a new “communist block”.

“When the continent is split with a sword — ‘you are with me or with the United States’ — a simplistic, offensive and anti-integrationist vision is expressed,” [Chavez] told El Universal.

Hmmm a full fledged communist state or a psuedo-socialist welfare state kept afloat by industrious capitalists? I’ll take the later and take my chances that we can turn this ship around before we become like Venezuela.
