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.
