Chavez. Covertly intervening in other nations' political processes again.

LIMA, Peru (AP) -- Peruvian Cabinet chief Jorge del Castillo is warning Venezuela against providing "under the table" funding for leftist groups in Peru.
The warning on Monday comes after police arrested two Peruvians involved with local pro-Venezuela groups attempting to carry $150 million into the country from Ecuador.
Last week, a congressional investigation into local groups supporting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's anti-U.S. regional trade bloc concluded that foreign funding for the groups is likely.
Del Castillo says Peru will not tolerate such foreign meddling and would exercise its "right to defend its sovereignty" if the accusations are confirmed. |
