SUBJECT: MEDIA REPORT - SECRETARY RUMSFELD'S MEETING WITH CHILEAN 
DEFENSE MINISTER 
 
 
1. Summary:  July 26 Santiago dailies reported extensively on 
Defense Minister Vivianne Blanlot's meeting with Secretary Donald 
Rumsfeld.  Articles quoted Blanlot as stating that the Secretary did 
not ask Chile to support Guatemala, but indicated it "would be 
incomprehensible" for Chile to vote for Venezuela.  "La Nacion" said 
the Secretary had "officially" asked Chile to vote for Guatemala and 
"La Tercera" stated that the U.S. had "intensified" pressure. 
Blanlot emphasized that the vote would not affect the relationship 
with the United States.  Reports also noted that both officials 
discussed Chile's ratification of the International Criminal Court 
(ICC) and resulting sanctions.  On line "La Tercera" ran President 
Bachelet's reaction, noting that Chile does not respond to pressure 
and would make decisions in the country's best interest.  There were 
no editorial comments.  End Summary. 
 
2. Conservative, influential newspaper-of-record "El Mercurio" 
(circ. 116,807): Defense Minister Vivianne Blanlot said Venezuela is 
"not an option for unity," because several South America, Caribbean, 
and Central American countries do not favor its candidacy.  News 
agencies reported that Secretary Rumsfeld had asked Chile to support 
Guatemala's candidacy during his meeting with Blanlot. 
 
2. Conservative, independent "La Tercera" (circ. 102,000) front-page 
headline, "U.S. Intensifies Pressure for Chile Not to Vote for 
Venezuela in United Nations."  "Defense Minister Blanlot said 
Secretary Rumsfeld did not ask Chile to support Guatemala, but did 
 
SIPDIS 
say 'it would be incomprehensible' for Chile to vote for 
Venezuela....  Rumsfeld's message reinforces the pressure launched 
by Secretary Rice...on April 21 in Washington." 
 
3. Government-owned editorially independent "La Nacion" (circ. 
3,800) front-page headline: "Pentagon Asks Chile to Vote for 
Guatemala for the UN Security Council."  "International news 
agencies reported that Secretary Rumsfeld officially asked Chile to 
support Guatemala.  Blanlot underscored that the vote by no means 
implies a change in relations with the United States....  In 2005 
Venezuela lobbied for Jose Miguel Insulza's candidacy in the OAS, 
and this would be the right moment to pay back the favor...but 
Blanlot said that 'the decision about who will occupy a seat in the 
Security Council is not about favors.'  Meanwhile, the White House 
has made La Moneda aware of the inconvenience of favoring Chavez." 
 
 
"La Nacion":  Defense Minister Vivianne Blanlot said Chile's vote in 
the UNSC does not in any way imply a change in the tone of the 
relationship with the Bush administration. 
4. "La Tercera online": President Bachelet responded to the concern 
expressed by Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to his Chilean counterpart 
Vivanne Blanlot over possible Chilean support for Venezuela's 
candidacy to the UNSC. "In the past, present, and in the future, 
Chile has had an independent foreign policy.  The country has not 
accepted pressure from any side or of any kind, and during my 
government that will not change.  Therefore any decision regarding 
the ICC, the Security Council or any aspect of foreign policy...will 
be made considering the interests of the country and the region." 
 
5. Conservative, independent "La Tercera" (circ. 102,000): Blanlot 
and Rumsfeld also discussed Chile's eventual ratification of the 
International Criminal Court (ICC).  Blanlot said the U.S. 
understands Chile's effort to ratify the ICC, but does not 
understand why La Moneda is unwilling to sign a bilateral agreement 
to grant U.S. soldiers immunity from the court's jurisdiction.  "I 
explained that our view is that this treaty must apply to everyone, 
and that it makes no sense to start leaving some outside (its 
jurisdiction); that it is a matter of principle." 
 
6. Conservative, influential newspaper-of-record "El Mercurio" 
(circ. 116,807):  Blanlot confirmed to Secretary Rumsfeld that Chile 
would ratify the ICC without Article 98, despite the automatic 
sanctions that will result.
