SANTO DOMINGO.- Venezuela president  Hugo Chavez will not come to the country to attend his colleague Leonel Fernandez’s inaugural for a third term, as the number of heads of State and Government in the ceremony still stands at 14.

Last night the Presidency’s Press office had confirmed that the Venezuelan leader was to arrive at 6 a.m. in Las Americas Airport International on a private flight, but Saturday morning that country's ambassador Francisco Belisario Landis said the poor weather conditions would prevent his presence. 

Several heads of State are in the country, including Colombia's Alvaro Uribe, Chile's Michelle Bachelet, and Hati's Rene Preval. Spanish prince Felipe de Borbon is also among the dignitaries present.

Also present are the prime ministers of Belize, Dean Barrow, of St. Kitts & Nevis, Denzil Douglas, and of the Dutch Antilles, Emily D Jongh-Elhag.

Somebody started the rumor that Hugo isn't coming. They said the prince is coming, but Hugo isn't coming.

Now, LF's office confirms Hugo is coming.

LF's office knows more about what's going on and who is coming than somebody who just spreads rumors.

I don't know why they spread the rumor Hugo isn't coming. What were they trying to gain by saying Hugo isn't coming.

Some people are so low down and bad.

Fay, don't get Hugo, for he's a great revolutionary and socialist, not the usual bourgeois scum, capitalist trash, and imperialist filth like G. W. Bush and Alvaro Uribe..

Santo Domingo, Aug 16 (Prensa Latina) Dominican President Leonel Fernandez starts his second consecutive mandate Saturday amid rains and gust of wind associated with tropical storm Fay.

The meteorological event is not Fernandez' larger concern for this second consecutive mandate, but the rise of food prices and raw materials are.

That circumstance have provoked an significant fall in the construction in the country.

There are some demands for an immediate reorganization and reconstitution of agriculture, one of the main national economic sectors.

A rise in criminality and drug trafficking, despite huge efforts, and fall in remittances from Dominican residents abroad, one of main sources of incomes, are also included in the list of pending issues to analyze by the head of State, who renewed his mandate in the May elections with over 54 percent of votes.

US reactionaries addicted to the lies of El Universal may be surprised to read what the bourgeois opposition in Venezuela itself says about the upcoming Nov. regional elections.

0000

http://www.abn.info.ve/go_news5.php?articulo=145390&lee=17
Caracas, Aug 15 ABN.- "The opposition parties who undersigned the so-called 'unitary' agreement are bound for an electoral catastrophe in the regional elections to be held the next November 23rd, expressed this Friday the president of the opposition party COPEI, Luis Ignacio Planas."

"From the seat of the party, the opposition leader referred to the number of opposition members which will contend to occupy posts in legislative councils along the national territory on the coming voting process. "

“'We have two, three and even four models of candidates for the deliberative bodies; it places us before an electoral catastrophe,' Planas reiterated. "

oooo

According to COPEI, too many reactionaries are running for the same offices.
