Venezuela Now Almost a Cuban Satellite

NewsMax.com. Thursday, June 14, 2001.

An inflamatory story in Cuba's government-backed Granma newspaper laid bare the increasingly tightening relationship between Havana and the government of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez.

Commenting on a May 30th anti-Castro demonstration in front of the Cuban embassy in Caracas and a similar one in Miami in front of the Venezuelan consulate, Granma's correspondent unwitttingly revealed how close Chavez's Venezuela has come to becoming a Cuban satellite.

"In the case of the documents that unite Caracas and Havana, there is a wide range of cooperation including public health and sports, covering 3,000 Cuban trainers," the Granma story revealed. "The Links have promoted bilateral exchanges, through which governors, politicians, youth delegates and trade unionists, among others, have visited our country, and ours have visited theirs."

In addition, swarms of Cuban medical personnel have arrived in Venezuela and all but taken over the nation's medical care services.

Granma ranted and raved against the anti-communist movement in Venezuela, attacking those who chanted "Death to Communism" and saying that this "was the worn-out, hysterical cry, despite the fact that thousands of Venezuelans are benefiting from the care provided by Cuban medical personnel in Venezuela." "Cuba and Venezuela are united by strong ties and joined by history," the story concluded. "Those who wish to break those ties have already wracked their brains trying to destroy the Cuban Revolution. Those who choose the path of counterrevolution opt for hate; in contrast, Cubans and Venezuelans have the antidote of solidarity, as it was demonstrated in Caracas on May 31."
