The FM Hugo Martinez said in a meeting with US officials that Chavez is a pompous autocrat who manipulates public opinion, according to Wikilinks divulged Tuesday.

The cable, written in 2006 by the US embassy in El Salvador, also reported that members of the FMLN were receiving funds from Ven by means of a sophisticated bank account network and small businesses.

Martinez, who now is an FLMN bly member, said to the US officials that he didn't have a great admiration for Chavez even though other FMLN members had a close relationship with CHavez.

"Martinez was, surprisingly, crticial of Chavez, who he characterized as a pompous autocrat who uses a hipothetical invasion from the US to manipulate public opinion and silence the opposition." according to the cable.





El canciller salvadoreño Hugo Martínez dijo en una reunión con funcionarios estadounidenses que el presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez es un “autócrata rimbombante” que manipula a la opinión pública, según un cable diplomático divulgado el martes por WikiLeaks.

El cable, elaborado en el 2006 por la embajada estadounidense en El Salvador, también reportó versiones de que integrantes del Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) recibían fondos venezolanos a través de una sofisticada red internacional de cuentas bancarias y pequeños negocios.

Martínez, quien en ese momento era diputado ante la Asamblea Legislativa por el FMLN, manifestó ante funcionarios estadounidenses que no sentía gran admiración por Chávez, pese a que algunos integrantes de su organización mantenían una estrecha relación con el mandatario venezolano.

“Martínez fue, sorpresivamente, crítico del presidente venezolano Hugo Chávez, a quien caracterizó como un autócrata rimbombante que usa una hipotética invasión de Venezuela por parte de Estados Unidos para manipular a la opinión pública y silenciar la disidencia”, señaló el cable diplomático.

1. Wikileaks
Wikileaks cables that support my worldview are true leaks, while those that go against my worldview are just plants by US intelligence.
