Lara: It was an error of the opposition to compete with Fitcar
Caracas. -- The planners of the electoral campaign of opposing candidate Manuel Rosales "committed a serious error to put themselves in competition with the International Caracas Tourism Fair (Fitcar) 2006, in the judgement of the Minister of Communication and Information, William Lara.
After traveling throught the different pavilions which are located on the Francisco de Miranda Air Base, [Lara, who] also serves as the National Coordinator of National Tactical Command(CTN) of the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR) asserted that the public attendance at the Rosales meeting today came mainly from the interior of the country while the residents of Caracas opted for the fair, as the Bolivarian News Agency (ABN) reviewed it.
On the national tourist event, Lara maintained that it is a success renowned in Venezuela and all the world.
He suggested that in its next edition the fair may have simultaneous seats in Caracas, Maracaibo, Puerto La Cruz, and Puerto Ordaz and other important tourist destinations of the country.
He considered that although Fitcar was itself conceived as an event for the capital, it is necessary to attend to those inhabitants of the interior who wish to participate. "Thus we would expand the success of the event and we would open it up to other Venezuelans," he added.
The head of the Minci [i.e. the Ministry of Communication and Information] assured everyone that the fair is a success from every point of view. "Even though there are some critics, it must be recognized that a large part of the press has given positive coverage of the events of Fitcar 2006," he pointed out.
On the mobilization in support of the presidential candidate of the revolution, Hugo Chavez Frias, summoned for this Sunday, Lara explained that it is being treated as a local activity directed by the inhabitants of those Caracan neighborhoods of Coche and El Valle.
"It is not a national event nor a regional one. It doesn't compete with Fitcar. It will be a brief event and its participants can go to the fair at the conclusion of the get-together," he maintained.

You see all these problems in other countries by other people who really do try and steal elections for power and you can see how they hate the USA which has for the most part been good in elections.
One thing the corrupt around the world have in their favor is Jimmy Carter.
He loves to certify that almost any criminal activity outside the USA is both fair and a sign of freedom.
