President Chavez rejects anarchical attitudes of groups that say they identify with the revolution

Caracas, 27 Feb. ABN.- On Wednesday President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez Frias, rejected the anarchical attitudes of some groups that say they identify with the revolution.

Through a telephone call to the program La Hojilla (the Razorblade), transmitted by VTV, he referred to the repeated denunciations without foundation by Deputy Luis Tascon, the occupation of the installations of the Episcopal Conference headed by Lina Ron and to the constant manifestations in front of the offices of TV channel Globovision.

The chief of state said that Tascon has had very strange conduct for a while in relation to the repeated denunciations without foundation made by the deputy.

He specified that Tascon's attitude shows great revolutionary indiscipline, which is why, Chavez said he had decided to solicit his expulsion from the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV); "because we cannot begin the party like this, with so much indiscipline and irresponsibility," he emphasised.

Denunciations should be made with proof Chavez stressed, and asked Tascon to present them, as he said he had asked on previous occasions.

He indicated that criticisms are necessary, but that it is necessary to make them in a responsible manner.

On the occupation of the Episcopal center in Caracas lead by Lina Ron, Chavez said he did not understand her and indicated that he had no doubt that she was infiltrated by groups interested in portraying the Bolivarian revolution as violent.

"I don't believe that she is mixing with revolutionary ranks," said the head of state.

In this sense, he referred to the damage that the ultra-left did to Salvador Allende (Chile), who, infiltrated by the CIA, gave excuses to the rightwing to overthrow the government.

He made a call to Ron to have a minimum of revolutionary discipline and warned that these violent attitudes aim to overshadow the successes of the government and present it as violent.
