String of Alba offices in Peru seen as new 'interference' by Chávez
Venezuela's president Hugo Chávez is once again being accused of
interfering in Peru's internal affairs, this time for establishing an
Alternativa Bolivariana para las Américas (Alba) office in Peru . Alba,
Chavez's brain-child, consists of 'soft diplomacy' initiatives which are billed
as an alternative to the US-sponsored (but stillborn) Free Trade Area of the
Americas (FTAA). In the last week it was revealed that there are actually
already six Alba offices operating in Peru, and five more are expected to open
soon.
