Venezuela seen financing Mexican extremism

The Venezuelan government has been financing the huge mobs assembling in Mexico City to protest the official electoral outcome that is expected to affirm the presidential election of Felipe Calderon.

The Chavez regime, Mexican sources tell Venezuelastan.com, is channeling the funds through the large Cuban embassy in Mexico City. Mexico and Venezuela have all but broken diplomatic relations over Chavez's intereference in the electoral campaign.

Calderon's opponent, Mexico City Mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has called for mass mob action in the event the election results don't go his way.

Marxist.com and other radical websites have been championing Lopez Obrador and the mobs.

Calderon, of the center-right PAN party, won the July election by a fraction. European and other international election monitors say the voting process was clean and efficient.

The concern now is that Chavez-backed forces might try to prevent a democratic transfer of power and plunge Mexico into a constitutional crisis - or worse, police action against the protesters that could result in bloodshed and a propaganda victory for the pro-Bolivarian side.
