2. PSUV Rejects OAS Position in Dispute

Caracas, Nov 15 (Prensa Latina) The Venezuelan Socialist United Party (PSUV) rejected the position taken by the Organization of American States in the territorial dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

PSUV leader Carlos Escarra said the OAS ideas and performance have once again showed in evidence.

"Each time we have to show a firm position against the US blockade against Cuba and the dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, OAS takes the attitude of an ostrich," Escarra stated in a press release.

Escarra said that positions like this make people think of the end of the organization, since it is subordinated to power centers.
