Wikileaks: Lugo and Tabaré Vázquez
A document qualified as classified by the US government and published by Wikileaks points out that Washington was worried about the direction that Fernando Lugo’s government might take, though it celebrated that he defined himself as ideologically close to Tabaré Vazquez.
The cable, dated 2008m was published this Wednesday by the Spanish newspaper El País. In this document, regarding Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo, the informer from the American Embassy in Asunción manifested concern for the connections that the President’s allies could have with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Concretely they speak about the Paraguayan Socialist movement, a member of the coalition that took Lugo to presidency and that received, at that time, financing from the government in Caracas.
The cable celebrates the fact that Fernando Lugo, once elected had appeared “delighted that the Ambassador of USA had been the first to offer his government help”. It also added that “Lugo feels more identified with t Uruguayan President Tabaré Vazquez”.
