Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed Friday he had uncovered a plot to topple his government, blaming his political opponents and calling them "lackeys" of the United States.
His mention of a coup plot prompted whistles and shouts from thousands of supporters who filled the streets to welcome him home Friday after a foreign tour in which China, Malaysia and Syria offered to support Venezuela's bid for a seat on the 15-member U.N. Security Council. He called opposition presidential candidates "lackeys of U.S. imperialism.'' "I have reports that the counter-revolutionary opposition has a plan to overthrow me in a coup,'' Chavez said. He gave no other details and did not identify any of the alleged conspirators. But he accused his enemies of planning to repeat a 2002 coup led by dissident generals that briefly drove him from power. |

04/09/2006 Mexican President Vicente Fox was forced to abandon his last state of the nation address to Congress on Friday after leftist lawmakers alleging election fraud seized the podium and refused to let him speak.
Shortly before Fox was due to give his speech, dozens of legislators who support leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador marched up to the podium, some with banners calling the president a traitor to democracy. Fox, who leaves office in December, avoided a more serious showdown with those who contend Lopez Obrador was robbed of the election by simply giving a copy of his speech to Congress officials and quickly returning to his residence. |
