For what it's worth, Chávez told Venezuelan radio yesterday the security forces had broken up a group of some 50 armed men in the Caracas barrio of Los Caobos who were planning an action at the presidential palace. In that same address, he said tomorrow's vote was a choice between "Chávez or Bush." (Prensa Latina, Nov. 30) Three army officers—Lt. Col. José Guerrero, Col. José Francisco Alvarado and Cpt. Carlos Guyón Cellis—have apprently been detained by the Military Intelligence Division (DIM) and charged in the plot. (EFE, Dec. 1)
In his speech, Chávez also dissed his opponents as "pitiyanquis" (Yankee lovers), and said he could see himself ruling until 2050, when he will turn 96. (NYT, Dec. 1) Turning up the heat in his row with Madrid, Chávez also threatened to nationalize the Spanish banks Santander and BBVA. (EFE, Dec. 1)
