“They say Chávez wants to politicize Mercosur. Yes, I do. I believe that it must be politicized.”
Venezuela joins Mercosur
For his part, Chávez urged the development of a political foundation for the trade bloc.
"They say that Chávez wants to politicize Mercosur. Yes, I do. I believe that it must be politicized," said the Venezuelan president.
He once again denounced an alleged conspiracy by the US, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the European Union to influence last Sunday’s municipal election in Venezuela that gave him the control over Congress and opened the doors for his reelection.
During the 24th meeting of the bloc, Carlos "Chacho" Alvarez, from Argentina, yesterday took office as the new head of the Mercosur’s permanent commission to replace Eduardo Duhalde, a former Argentine president.
The incorporation of Venezuela — South America’s third-largest economy and the world’s number five oil exporter — is widely seen by analysts as a largely political decision, highlighting the growing alliances between Chávez and other left-leaning leaders in the region.
In recent months, Chávez has moved to strengthen his country’s links with its neighbours, offering low-cost oil deals at a time of soaring oil prices and investing in regional companies in Argentina and Brazil, among other countries.

"We moeten ons bewust zijn van de superioriteit van onze beschaving, met zijn normen en waarden, welvaart voor de mensen, respect voor mensenrechten en godsdienstvrijheid. Dat respect bestaat zeker niet in de Islamitische wereld".
