Brazillian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho denounces plot against Alejandro Peña Esclusa.
A friend of mine, Alejandro Peña Esclusa, one of the leaders of the Venezuelan opposition and founder of the UnoAmerica movement, was arrested yesterday, July 12th., by the political police of Hugo Chávez. He was arrested upon ridiculous, false, and absurd charges, entirely manifactured by Chavez's police and founded upon some testimony given by a supposed Salvadoran terrorist, Francisco Chávez Abarca, who would have denounced Peña Esclusa as his "contact" in Venezuela. The fact of the matter, however, is that Chávez Abarca, as soon as he arrived in Caracas last week, was interrogated and then sent to Cuba, where no independent investigator can contact him to verify whether his testimony really exists and whether it is true. The Venezuelan government says that Chávez Abarca is the right-hand of Luís Posada Carriles, who, in his turn, was accused of having exploded a plane of the Cuban Airlines. So far, however, the most compromising piece of information that has been found against Chávez Abarca is that he was

So far, however, the most compromising piece of information that has been found against Chávez Abarca is that he was
arrested for car theft and smuggling. The justice system of El Salvador set him free in 2007.
If there is no evidence that Chávez Abarca is a terrorist, much less is there any proof against Alejandro Peña. The Venezuelan police said they found explosives in his apartment, which is laughable, to say the least. Peña, who has never shown any sign of mental unbalance, would have to be completely insane to plot bomb attacks against a government which he has filed suit against in the International Court of Justice (see http://fuerzasolidaria.org/?p=296).

Nobody knows where Alejandro Peña is, nor what his health condition is after some hours of fondling by the hands of Hugo Chávez's political police, widely known by their matchless tenderness.
The Geneva Conventions guarantee to every prisoner the right to be visited by a minister belonging to the prisoner's religious denomination, or by members of the Red Cross. I appeal to the Catholic Church in Venezuela to send a priest to meet with Peña Esclusa in prison immediately, in order to ensure that the excess of humanitarianism of the Chávez government will not lead the prisoner to death from emotional exhaustion or from unknown or unthinkable causes.
The goal of the farce set up against Peña is to create an appearance of connection between him and "violent right-wing organizations," which, in the current Latin American scene, stand out especially because of their spectacular non-existence.
Alejandro Peña is known by both the American and Brazilian public as a serious and well-balanced public speaker, who describes the political situation of his country with sadness, but with serenity and without the least sign of hatred. Because of Peña Esclusa's democratic militancy, the Alabama state legislature has recently taken up a resolution commending his actions (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGhwsRbR
