VENEZUELA-CHAVEZ
TO GO WITH AFP STORY
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez delivers a speech during a ceremony 25 May, 2007 in the Anzuategui state, some 220 km from Caracas, to mark the arrival of the second shipment of Russian-made Sukhoi SU-30 multi-role combat aircraft. Security forces were put on alert in Caracas and other cities Friday after President Hugo Chavez warned about the existence of plans of sabotage and students began demonstrating their rejection to the decision of not to renew the concession to private broadcast RCTCV. On Sunday, Chavez is set to make good his threat to shut down RCTV, the country's oldest, very popular and defiant TV station he says is conspiring against him. In late 2006 Chavez said he would not renew RCTV's broadcasting license, thus silencing a major voice of the political opposition. Chavez took the decision despite widespread discontent among viewers, who will miss the channel's cherished soap operas and variety shows. Recent polls show that 70 to 80 percent of the population, many of those who voted for Chavez since 1998, oppose the move. AFP PHOTO/STR
