2009-07-07 18:10:36 - Retired Navy officer, Ramon Rodriguez Chacin has criticized the private media in Venezuela for giving full support to the coupsters in Honduras.

VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue reports:

Speaking as a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) coordinating committee, Rodriguez Chacin argues that if it wasn't for regional TV Telesur or Venezolana de Television (VTV), Venezuelans would not have had any access to truthful and opportune information of what was happening in Honduras.

"There would have been news sabotage

and a slant in favor of the coupsters in line with the way the people of Honduras were repressed and media sources indiscriminately closed."

Rodriguez Chacin says the PSUV is with the Honduran people and expresses grief over last Sunday's deaths and crimes committed by the dictatorship in Honduras.

Rodriguez Chacin is an important figure within the Bolivarian movement and has undertaken delicate international missions on behalf of President Chavez during the ten-year period the Bolivarians have been in government.

The former naval officer has been prominent as a special envoy in secret talks in Colombia, Ecuador and other Latin American countries and his appearance in the press conference has raised speculations about a possible return to the Cabinet.

VHeadline.com Venezuela is a wholly independent e-publication promoting democracy in its fullest expression and the inalienable right of all Venezuelans to self-determination and the pursuit of sovereign independence without interference. Our stance is decidedly pro-governance (defined as being contrary to anarchy) and pro-government to the extent that we support all and any government policies aimed at consolidating and improving the living conditions and future prosperity of ALL Venezuelans, regardless of race, color or creed. We also seek to shed an international spotlight on nefarious practices and corruption which, for decades, has strangled this South American nation's development and progress. In every respect VHeadline Venezuela's declared editorial bias is most definitely pro-Constitutional, pro-Democracy and pro-VENEZUELA.
