Mobilizations in Venezuela against secessionist project



 CARACAS, March 7 (PL)-Broad sectors of Venezuelan society began mobilizing 
today to express their disapproval of secession plans by the wealthy state of 
Zulia, believed to be part of U.S. interventionist designs.

The political party Homeland for All (PPT), an organization that supports 
President Hugo Chávez, initiated the actions demonstrating support for national 
unity by organizing a demonstration outside the Attorney General's office in 
support of its investigation into the case. 

The Attorney General's office announced yesterday that it is to investigate 
charges regarding a secessionist movement in the oil-rich state in western 
Venezuela made by a national newspaper and confirmed by Chávez and other 
authorities. 

Apparently, a group called Rumbo Propio is planning to organize a referendum 
that would propose the establishment of the Republic of Zulia, with its own 
president and constitution, and a system of "liberal capitalism."

William Lara, national coordinator of the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR), 
Venezuela's governing party, accused U.S. Ambassador William Brownfield of 
participating in meetings in Zulia on effecting the secession. 

For his part, Giancarlo di Martino, mayor of Maracaibo, the country's 
second-largest city and the capital of Zulia, affirmed that this is about a 
U.S. plot involving Colombian paramilitaries and Governor Manuel Rosales. 

Rosales is one of the only two governors among the country's 24 states who is 
part of the Chávez opposition and, according to various sources, is 
participating to a lesser or greater extent in the Zulia secessionist movement. 

If Zulia were to secede, it would cut off the country from important 
hydrocarbon reserves, and observers say it would allow the United States to 
establish a military base in the area and weaken the Chávez Government. 

In response to that, Freddy Bernal, mayor of the Libertador municipality of the 
capital and president of the Association of Bolivarian Mayors of Venezuela, has 
also called for a broad mobilization by society to prevent the secessionist 
attempt.
