Chávez is the loser not only because he had provided the FARC moral support (he once described them as “belligerents,” not terrorists, and publicly called Uribe an American stooge), but also because it is believed that he has been providing the FARC covert military support.
Chávez est perdant non seulement à cause du soutien moral qu’il avait apporté aux FARC (il les a qualifiés de “belligérants” et non de terroristes, et il a publiquement traité Uribe de laquais de l’Amérique), mais aussi parce qu’on pense qu’il a secrètement fourni aux FARC un soutien militaire.
