Bachelet Openly Supports Venezuela
Santiago de Chile
Oct 5
President Michelle Bachelet clearly supported Venezuela for joining the UN Security Council during a dinner with Christian democratic parliamentarians Tuesday, noted local media Thursday.
Some of the participants expressed "not everyone will be happy" with the decision.
The Christian Democracy, representing the most conservative and pro-American sector in the ruling coalition, has developed a strong campaign against President Hugo Chavez and his hope to hold a seat at the UN entity.
The fact that the first item chosen by the dignitary to start the meeting with her guests was also a sign within a large range of disagreements with her most prominent political partner s supporters inside the government parties.
The president highlighted some aspects she used to back up her decision in favour of Venezuela like regional support and how complicated it will be for Chile not to join the consensus in an arena where only Colombia and Peru will not join.
The president also added that to vote in favor of Guatemala, the other candidate, would be a sign of poor independence regarding the US.
An additional aggravating factor is that the Central American country did not back Chile during Jose Manuel Insulza proposal to OAS.
