Venezuela and Argentina for
integration, U.S. on the prowl
By Osvaldo Cardosa Samón
BUENOS AIRES, March 9 (PL).—While Argentina and
Venezuela are paving the way toward integration,
that inexorable decree of the peoples’ future, the
United States is prowling around Latin America like
a herald of war.
This
Friday, President Hugo Chávez begins a brief visit
to Argentina to move ahead on agreements in the
energy sector, discuss agricultural matters and
draft plans for a Bank of the South.
The
objective of that multilateral funding agency is to
neutralize the domination of the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
During his February 21 visit to Venezuela, Kirchner
and Chávez signed 17 cooperation agreements in the
food, housing, transport and financial sectors.
The
Argentine president also formalized Venezuelan
Development Bank funding to rescue the Argentine
dairy cooperative SanCor.
According to analysts, these agreements are in the
framework of the internal dynamic of regional
integration and, in addition, Caracas’ entry into
MERCOSUR.
