VHeadline Venzuela News reports: Primero Justicia (PJ) party leader, presidential challenger, Julio Borges has criticized President Hugo Chavez Frias' and claims that his much-publicized visits to China, Russia and other world capitals have cost Venezuela at least US$40 billion ... which he says has been a waste of time and resources and done mainly to enhance Chavez' ego-tripping on a world stage. Borges insists that Chavez should deal with important issues at home in Venezuela first and put his strutting on the world stage on the back burner until he has resolved the more important issues facing Venezuelans on their home turf.
"We will not tire of demanding that the President puts Venezuela and the Venezuelan people first ... in the process of these past 10 years of permanent travelling hither and thither, he has thrown more than $40 billion down the tube ... for what? And each time the amount grows larger and the expenses grow more lavish but he doesn't pay anything out of his personal check book ... NO ... it is the Venezuelan people that have to foot the bill!"
Borges is hyper-critical of the latest massive loans that Chavez had asked for, and received, from the governments of China and Russia. "Most of it is going to continue to buy even more war materials ... what benefits is there in that to the Venezuelan people? How many jobs are being generated from these visits and which if the people's problems are being solved with the toys of war that he has just been buying on his latest spree?"
"Faced with this situation, we must urge that with the November 23 local and regional elections it is time to put a stop to the President's incessant travel arrangements ... with a change of governors and mayors we must promote the necessary changes and to require the President to place Venezuela and Venezuelans as the top priority in his agenda!
Meanwhile the regional vice president of legislative affairs for the Un Nuevo Tiempo (UNT) party, Alfonso Marquina, has accused the Chavez government of using the law to suppress opposition leaders and media owners. He claims political persecution is being implemented in the President's latest allegations of a planned coup d'etat and his possible assassination. Marquina says the (spurious) charges are intended to distract the attention of the Venezuelan people away from discussing issues of national interest "on which the government has failed miserably"
"We are concerned about the persistent prosecution of politics in Venezuela, because it can lead to arbitrary arrests and unconstitutionality!"
