VENEZUELAN President Hugo Chávez Frías stressed the importance of the "Reflections of Fidel," published Thursday November 19 and titled The Bolivarian Revolution and Peace, at a preparatory workshop for the 1st Extraordinary Congress of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) to the 772 delegates participating in the upcoming event.

In the Caracas Municipal Theater and with his usual eloquence, the Bolivarian leader read out the document in which the Cuban leader refutes, among other elements, the slanderous yanki accusation that Chávez is planning a war against neighboring Colombia and states that Colombian paramilitary forces are "the first shock troops" of the United States against the homeland of Simón Bolívar.

With visible emotion, the Bolivarian president sang the PSUV anthem, the Venezuelan national anthem, and the Cuban National anthem as a demonstration of the profound fraternity between the two revolutionary processes, whose nations are the founder members of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA)

A Prensa Latina report states that Chávez has decided to extend the 1st Extraordinary Congress of the PSUV to March 2010. It was initially scheduled to be in session from November 21 – December 13, 2009. ............

1. Send money please

I'm sure the Cubans will appreciate more money from Venezuela in exchange for Chavez' kind words.
