Caracas, Feb 26 (Prensa Latina) Actions aimed at releasing four former legislators by the Colombian insurgency focus Tuesday the Venezuelan political stage, awaiting signals to concrete that important peace step.
Venezuelan Interior Minister Ramon Rodriguez Chacin said he has the coordinates for the handover of Gloria Polanco, Orlando Cuellar, Eladio Perez and Jorge Eduardo Gechem by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
It is expected that the International Red Cross cooperate in this operation, in a very similar mechanism used in January when the guerrilla released Clara Rojas, former candidate for the Colombian vice presidency, and former legislator Consuelo Gonzalez.
The minister mentioned February 27 as a probable date to finalize that step, taking into consideration the need to coordinate with Colombian authorities in charge of the corresponding consents.
The information on the place of the delivery is in the hands of Rodriguez Chacin, who asserted it will be provided in a sealed envelop to the Red Cross in case of an unexpected situation.
The success of this project is surrounded by accusations of the presence of some 18,000 Colombian military soldiers in the zone, endangering people who could be freed and those who are still in the hands of the FARC rebels.
If this action is successfully realized, it will be the second unilateral step of the insurgency, in recognition of the mediating labor by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Colombian Senator Piedad Cordova, which had been abruptly stopped by the Bogota government.
