Venezuela Communists Knock US Plot

Caracas, Oct 29 (Prensa Latina) The Communist Party of Venezuela
denounced on Monday that the US is involved in a subversive plan to
thwart the constitutional reform in that country, due to its
hopelessness to do so through democratic ways.

Tribuna Popular, organ of the organization's Central Committee,
affirmed that between October 7 and 9, US representatives met with
Venezuelan opposition sectors to plot the actions.

The source indicated that in the meetings, the opposition was urged to
convene social uprisings, sabotage the economy and infrastructure,
destroy the food transportation chain and plan a military coup.

Former US National Security Director Paul Wolfowitz, and former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, among others, attended the
meetings.

The denunciation sustains the move is in line with calls by "Comando de
la Resistencia" (Resistance Command) led by Antonio Ledezma, Henry
Ramos, Oswaldo Alvarez, Herman Escarra, and Gabriel Puerta to stop the
constitutional reform.

In statements to press, Escarra asked the population to go to the
streets until "the government collapses" through a supposed "people's
insurrection."

According to Tribuna Popular, students from private and state
universities are the cannon fodder, and the so called popular networks
of social democracy organized by Chacao's mayor Leopoldo Lopez are the
mobilizing mechanism.
