Money Flows In Against Chavez

CARACAS, March 23.- Foreign interests hope to weaken the government
of President Hugo Chavez before the November regional elections,
reports a news commentator.

THEY HOPE TO WEAKEN CHAVEZ GOVERNMENT AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE
ALREADY FLOWING FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.

Speaking on his "Jose Vicente Hoy" program on Televen TV, Journalist
Jose Vicente Rangel, warned that funds are already flowing into the
country to finance the campaigns of opposition governors and mayors.

Rangel said the first such funds detected were US $4 million from the
United States, and others in Euros from a Spanish business group
directly linked to the campaign of a retired general who held high
posts in the Chavez government.

Likewise, Rangel, a former vice-president under Chavez, denounced
that US military installations, air and naval units in Curacao and
Aruba have increased their numbers and personnel.

Rangel further noted the increase of sophisticated electronic
equipment used in espionage and interception at the US facilities.

The November elections involve some 600 positions of governors,
mayors and members of the legislative councils in another
battleground between the Chavez government and opposition forces.
