Venezuela's Chavez says opponents planning coup attempt
The Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he had uncovered a
plot to topple his government, blaming his political opponents and calling
them "lackeys" of the United States.
Chavez's mention Friday of a coup plot prompted whistles and shouts from
thousands of supporters who filled the streets to welcome him home after a
foreign tour in which China, Malaysia and Syria offered to support
Venezuela's bid for a U.N. Security Council seat.
He called opposition presidential candidates "lackeys of U.S. imperialism."
"I have reports that the counter-revolutionary opposition has a plan to
overthrow me in a coup," Chavez said. He gave no other details and did not
identify any of the alleged conspirators, but he accused his enemies of
planning to repeat a 2002 coup led by dissident generals that briefly drove
him from power.
Chavez has warned of numerous alleged plots, though in recent months he has
not mentioned any specific report of a conspiracy.
Chavez said if he wins another six-year term in the December election, he
plans to call a referendum halfway through the term on whether he should
stay on and whether a constitutional bar on running for subsequent terms
should be eliminated.
The Venezuelan leader's four-nation tour was the latest in a series of
international stops coinciding with his country's push for a rotating
Security Council seat despite U.S. opposition.
"Support for Venezuela's candidacy to the U.N. Security Council has only
grown. Everyday we have more of the world's support to defeat U.S.
imperialism in the United Nations," Chavez told the cheering crowd. "For the
first time in history, Venezuela truly holds a privileged, respected place
in the world because we ? for the first time ? have a foreign policy that
doesn't depend on any world power center."
Washington is lobbying against Venezuela's bid and is backing Guatemala. The
race will be decided by the General Assembly in a secret ballot in October.
The Security Council has five permanent members with veto power ? the United
States, Britain, Russia, China and France ? and 10 non-permanent members
that serve two-year terms.
Chavez, first elected in 1998, has maintained loyal support partly through
oil-funded social programs popular among the poor.
He predicted a "knockout" victory against his opponents in the Dec. 3 vote,
saying: "There are only two candidates here: Hugo Chavez and George 'The
Devil' Bush."
Chavez has said the U.S. and his opponents could try to discredit the
elections results. Recent polls have shown Chavez has the support of more
than half of the electorate.
"What you have here Mr. Devil are all broken bats, and if those broken bats
make it to Dec. 3, we are going to pulverize them," he said.
Leading opposition candidate Manuel Rosales, meanwhile, toured poor
neighborhoods in the central city of Maracay on Friday and met with business
leaders.
He accused the government of failing to control illegal armed groups from
neighboring Colombia along Venezuela's porous western border. Venezuela's
military should boost security in the region rather than prepare for a
possible U.S. invasion, he said.
"We demand attention along the borders, that the military be deployed where
they should be guardians of sovereignty and not walking around worried about
resistance-type wars" with the United States, Rosales told local Globovision
television.
Venezuela and Colombia have worked together to improve border security, and
Venezuela has deployed thousands of additional troops to the area. But
murders, extortion and kidnappings remain common along the remote border,
which runs through mountains and jungles.

Chavez Says He Uncovered Coup Plot

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed Friday he had uncovered a plot to
topple his government, blaming his political opponents and calling them
"lackeys" of the United States.
His mention of a coup plot prompted whistles and shouts from thousands of
supporters who filled the streets to welcome him home Friday after a
foreign tour in which China, Malaysia and Syria offered to support
Venezuela's bid for a seat on the 15-member U.N. Security Council.
He called opposition presidential candidates "lackeys of U.S. imperialism."
"I have reports that the counter-revolutionary opposition has a plan to
overthrow me in a coup," Chavez said. He gave no other details and did not

Chavez has warned of numerous alleged plots, though in recent months he has
not mentioned any specific report of a conspiracy.
If he wins another six-year term in the December election, Chavez said he
plans to call a referendum halfway through the term on whether he should
stay on and whether a constitutional prohibition on running for subsequent
terms should be eliminated.
