The Venezuelan government blasted as "unacceptable" an accusatory instrument furnished on Monday by a Spanish judge on alleged cooperation among the government of President Hugo Chavez, the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) and Basque separatist group ETA, reported the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a press release.
"The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela learned, via newspapers, about the charges filed by a Spanish judge, where unacceptable remarks are made, of a political nature and reason, on the Venezuelan government," the communiqué stated.
On Monday, Judge Eloy Velasco, of the Spanish High Court, the highest criminal authority, said in an indictment that the ETA's help to train FARC members had the Venezuelan "government cooperation," AFP reported.
According to the indictment disclosed on Monday, involving six presumed ETA members and seven FARC members for their alleged cooperation and murder attempt, both groups were plotting in Spain against Colombian VIPs, including President Alvaro Uribe. |
