[KC]

Chávez responsabilizó a la CIA por las protestas en Irán

En el marco de la sexta cumbre de la Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas (ALBA), el presidente Hugo Chávez, señaló a la agencia central de inteligencia de Estados Unidos (CIA) como responsable por las protestas destadas tras las elecciones de Irán, y ratificó su confianza en la legitimidad del triunfo de Mahumd Ahmadinejad.

El mandatario venezolano aseguró que los acontecimientos en Irán -donde la oposición denuncia irregularidades en el escrutinio-, son un tipo de hechos que ya anteriormente se han preparado en otros países.

"Empiezan a salir encuestas a última hora, (dicen que) hay un empate, y despues de que ganamos (las elecciones, denuncian) fraude. La gente a la calle, unos muertos, tienen francotiradores, y detrás está la CIA y la mano imperial de los países europeos y de Estados Unidos", indicó.

"Desde mi punto de vista eso es lo que esta ocurriendo en Irán", aseveró.

"Ahmadinejad ganó con todas las de la ley. Estamos absolutamente seguros, conocemos bastante la realidad iraní", agregó Chávez, muy cercano al presidente iraní.

Cambio de nombre

El líder del bloque de la sexta cumbre, Hugo Chávez, informó que el ALBA cambiará su nombre y pasará a llamarse Alianza Bolivariana para las Américas y ya no Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas.

"Surgió así como una alternativa. Algunos hemos venido comentado y creemos que aunque mantiene su condición de alternativa, podemos llamarla 'alianza'", dijo Chávez

Consejo de Complementación Económica

Los jefes de Estado de los países integrantes de la Alternativa Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América (Alba) crearon el Consejo de Complementación Económica, con el objetivo de coordinar esfuerzos en esta área.

El mandatario venezolano dijo que la idea de crear dicho consejo fue producto de los debates y propuestas que se han ido cosechando y madurando en reuniones previas del Alba.


Ecuador ingresa al ALBA

Ecuador formalizó su adhesión en la sexta cumbre de la Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas (ALBA).

El ingreso de Ecuador al ALBA "no implica el desmedro de las obligaciones contraídas por este país en otros tratados", precisó el canciller ecuatoriano, Fander Falconí, al leer el documento en el cual se solicitó la adhesión.

El presidente Rafael Correa afirmó que la decisión de incorporar a su país al ALBA, de la cual hasta ahora era observador, ha sido "asumida reflexiva y maduramente, con respeto a la Constitución".

Afirmó que apoyan la consolidación de la Comunidad Andina de Naciones y el Mercado Común del Sur, así como el Unasur. Asimismo, destacó que el Alba es mucho más de un proyecto social, “es integración política”.

Más temprano

El presidente de la República, Hugo Chávez Frías, dio inicio la cumbre dando la bienvenida a Ecuador como miembro pleno al bloque. Señaló que la cita se realizaba para incorporar a la nación presidida por Rafael Correa.

El jefe de Estado y sus homólogos de Ecuador, Rafael Correa; de Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega; y de Bolivia, Evo Morales; así como el primer vicepresidente de Cuba, José Ramón Machado Ventura, arribaron a la sede de la VI Cumbre Extraordinaria de la Alternativa Bolivariana para los pueblos de nuestra América (Alba) que se celebra en Maracay, estado Aragua.

Esta sexta cumbre extraordinaria reúne a los mandatarios y primeros ministros de las naciones que integran este grupo, en ocasión de formalizar la incorporación de Ecuador, San Vicente y Las Granadinas, así como Antigua y Barbuda al Alba.

Chavez blamed the CIA for the protests in Iran

At the sixth summit of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA), President Hugo Chávez, told the Central Intelligence Agency United States (CIA) responsible for the protests of these after the elections in Iran, and ratified their confidence in the legitimacy of the victory of Mahumoud Ahmadinejad .

The Venezuelan leader said that events in Iran, where the opposition denounced irregularities in the vote, are a type of events that previously have been developed in other countries.

"They start to exit polls last time, (say) there is a tie, and after we won (the elections, denounced) fraud. People on the street, some dead, are snipers, and the CIA is behind the hand Imperial European countries and United States, "he said.

"From my point of view that is what is happening in Iran," he said.

"Ahmadinejad won with all of the law. We are absolutely sure we know enough Iranian reality," said Chavez, close to the Iranian president.

Name Change

The leader of the bloc's sixth summit, Hugo Chávez, said that the ALBA will change its name and will be renamed the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas and no longer Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas.

"It emerged as an alternative. Some have been discussed and we believe that while maintaining its status as an alternative, we can call it 'alliance,'" said Chavez

Council of Economic Complementation

Heads of state of member countries of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (Alba) created the Council of Economic Complementation, in order to coordinate efforts in this area.

The Venezuelan leader said the idea of creating this council was the product of discussions and proposals that have been harvested and maturing at previous meetings of ALBA.


Ecuador joins ALBA

Ecuador completed its accession to the sixth summit of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA).

The income of the ALBA Ecuador "does not affect the obligations of other treaties in this country," the foreign minister of Ecuador, Falconi Fando, reading the paper in which he applied for membership.

The President Rafael Correa said the decision to incorporate their country into ALBA, which until now was an observer, has been "thoughtful and mature assumed with respect to the Constitution."

Chavez should know as the imperialists have been trying one way or another to overthrow him in the last 10 years.

[Crux]

What he is using his super detcting-CIA sense? no, this is just another example of Chavez's limitations. It's unsuprising though, he's been dealing with the Iranian regime for a long time.

Well, actually, if you look at the history of Iran, the CIA has used street demonstrators as part of their agenda of regime change there in the past. The CIA did end up hiring pro-shah demonstrators to get out into the streets, to bring down democratically elected leader Mohammed Mossadedq in 1953.

Massive CIA intervention in Iran is not without precedent. It put the Shah in power.

I don't get why you would act like there's no evidence when there's fucking shitloads of conclusive evidence supporting every last thing Chavez said there. Some of the really damning shit has already been posted in the Iran board.

[pastradamus]

Is it just me or did anyone notice PressTv's huge coverage of even the slightest thing Chavez does lately is reported? Not that this is any slight accusation. :D

Over the last 50 years we've seen the CIA create havoc across Latin America. Its obvious to me of their presence in Iran. Now, whatever theryre doing there remains to be seen or perhaps we'll never find out, but one way or another -they're present.

Chavez is an enemy of the workers, what else do you expect?

[AmerGuerilla]

These arguments all seem extremely ridiculous to me. There were numerous polls taken by iranian organizations showing their favor for Mousavi. I do not support mousavi because he is just another bougoiesie. But the mass demonstrations are for the peoples voice to be heard. While Mousavi has tried to calm the mass by telling them to have days of mourning or not to interfere with the authorities as he has done lately. The people still go out. Clearly this is part of the revolutionary stage of the masses in Iran as it was in 1979 before the mullahs took control of the masses and shmashed the worker councils that had already been set up by the people, so they could consolidate their hold in being counter-revolutionaries in the original 79 revolution.
The current Iranian leadership has brutally repressed the Iranian trade-unionists multiple times. They have fired on their own people while workers struggle to get a better living standard. Their are so many horrific examples of the government commiting attrocities against the working-class. Why Chavez supports him I dont know and it scares me he wouldnt support their revolution. check out iwsn.org it is one of many pro worker, pro communist websites citing the class war being waged on unions by thier disgusting government. "Long live the Iranian workingclass, Down with the counter-revolutionaries Mousavi and Ahmadinejad!"

I would have gladly translated it but I guess I won't have to.

Thanks though.

CIA presence does not imply control of the demonstrations. Rather, these protests are unfavoruable to the US regime. Anyone claiming teh CIA is "behind" these massprotest, the largest protests since the revolution, is obviously grossly overestimating the power of the CIA, and furthermore doing so to act as an apoligist for the murdering anti-workingclass regime.

Where exactly? Except for the repeated claims of the iranian state media of course.
