Cuban intelligence warns of possible plot against Chavez

Spanish daily Diario Exterior reports:

The June 17 encounter between Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, Castro advised Chavez to take care of himself from the Ecuadorean government, which is seeking an alliance with the United States.

El Universal, a Venezuelan daily, assures that Fidel Castro handed Chavez a report from Cuban Intelligence (G2) alerting to suspicious political movements by his colleague Rafael Correa, President of Ecuador, of a possible plot by his ministers to overthrow him.

The report reveals the Ecuadorean leader is formulating his foreign policy and looking for a transfer of the US military base to Colombia.

The most severe warning Castro gave to Chavez is related to a plan by Chavez’s closest functionaries to overthrow him and in addition recommended to change his ministers for incompetence and theft.  If Chavez wants to remain in power, according to the communique, Castro’s warning will obligate the Venezuelan president to reinforce his security plan.

Castro also suggested to Venezuelan president to change his ministers because his greatest enemies are among them.
