Manuel Zelaya is going to bat for Venezuela. He will be playing a new role this time: leading an energy consortium which plans to allow poorer Caribbean and Central American nations to buy oil from Venezuela on preferential terms.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered the role to Zelaya. Manuel Zelaya Rosales told the Venezuelan state television that he plans to “strengthen the democratic process” in Latin America.
Chavez has used the wealth of oil in his country to further his vision of a united continent, free of “U.S. imperialists” to develop a leadership role outside of Venezuela, and into other Latin American countries.
