Bylined to: Patrick J. O'Donoghue Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias says he will leave Miraflores Palace as poor as when he entered.
Speaking at the granting of credit and subsidy certificates of a housing plan called "Plan Casa Media" at the Teresa Carreno Theatre in Caracas, the President remarks that Miraflores used to be a business center where the "dance of the millions" took place and full steam corruption. |

Tuesday October 10, 2006 The Guardian Venezuela was due to ship 350,000 barrels of oil to Nicaragua yesterday in an effort to boost the election campaign of Daniel Ortega, who hopes to lead the Sandinistas back to power next month.
The heavy diesel was intended to alleviate power cuts in the impoverished central American country and to show the benefits of friendship with Venezuela's president, Hugo Chávez. Mr Chávez has openly backed Mr Ortega, a fellow leftwing critic of the United States and frontrunner in the November 5 vote. The former Marxist revolutionary led a Sandinista government in the 1980s which fought a Washington-sponsored insurgency. The prospect of this cold war foe returning to office has alarmed the Bush administration. Its ambassador to Managua has warned Nicaraguans not to vote for Mr Ortega. |
