SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION; ANTONINI WILSON; CHAVEZ MEDIATION BETWEEN 
URIBE AND THE FARC; CHILE; 08/31/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Today's most important international stories are related to the 
Argentine Government's expectations regarding a request to the US 
for Antonini Wilson's extradition; Venezuelan President Chvez's 
attempt to mediate between the Colombian Government and the FARC; 
and the allegedly "vague" reasons for Chile's latest protest against 
President Bachelet's economic policies. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "The (Argentine) Government does not believe the US will extradite 
Antonini Wilson" 
 
Mariano Obarrio, political columnist of daily-of-record "La 
Nacisn's," writes (08/31) "The Kirchner administration is convinced 
that Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson, who has just been found in 
Miami, will not be extradited to Argentina whether in the short term 
or at any time in the future. 
 
"... A high-ranking official from the Argentine Government told 'La 
Nacisn': '(Antonini Wilson) is a US citizen and an intermediary 
between PDVSA and the US economic top brass, and, in any event, he 
is being closely watched by US security agencies.' 
 
"... This is why the Argentine Government does not expect Judge 
Novatti's request for (Antonini Wilson's) extradition to be 
successful. 
 
"... According to US sources, the FBI will not make any comments on 
Antonini, and the USG limited itself to inform on the formal steps 
required for the request for extradition... 
 
"Wladimir Abad, a businessman with ties to Antonini Wilson, pointed 
out yesterday that Antonini Wilson has ties to Chvez and (that he) 
handles business with the Venezuelan government and with PDVSA. 
 
"This is what the (Argentine) Government believes US authorities are 
interested that Antonini cooperate to investigate other businessmen 
from the so-called 'Bolivarian bourgeoisie', the businessmen related 
to the Bolivarian government." 
 
- "Chavez arrives today in Bogot to mediate between the Uribe 
administration and the FARC" 
 
Pablo Biffi, on special assignment to Bogot for leading "Clarn," 
writes (08/31) "Playing a risky role of 'mediator' between the Uribe 
administration and the FARC, Venezuelan President Hugo Chvez will 
arrive today in Bogot in an attempt to reach a deal allowing for 
the exchange of some 40 politicians and military that are being held 
by insurgents in return for some 400 imprisoned guerrilla leaders. 
The Bolivarian leader's initiative has set off a wave of optimism 
among the hostages' relatives... 
 
"... In any case, FARC also told 'Clarn' that they welcomed the 
Venezuelan President's initiative, although they asked him to use 
his influence to convince Uribe about the need for a military 
withdrawal in Colombia, which the Colombian government has bluntly 
rejected... 
 
"Ties between Colombia and Venezuela, which have always been 
difficult, are now in good shape and both presidents have been 
pragmatic enough not to jeopardize the increasing trade between 
their two countries in spite of their diverging ideological 
positions. 
 
"This time, Chvez seems to be comfortable playing a leading role, 
although the rigid positions of both the government and FARC will 
hinder his endeavor... 
 
"No one knows what card the Venezuelan President may have up his 
sleeve, especially when the Colombian government and FARC have 
already put limits on him. A success could help Chvez repair his 
impaired international image, although a failure could place him in 
an awkward position. 
 
"Diplomatic and political sources in Bogot have told 'Clarn' that 
Chvez could be planning to suggest both government and guerrillas 
accept another location for the exchange, without military or 
guerrilla intervention, which could be 'monitored' by international 
observers and the Red Cross, for example. This seems an intermediate 
option... 
 
"... In the event both government and guerrillas agree to hold 
talks, another obstacle Chvez will meet will be the FARC's demand 
that two guerrillas imprisoned in the US be part of the exchange. In 
this case, Washington could play a key role, although it is still 
 
unknown to what point the US is willing to release two guerrillas in 
exchange for three Americans held by the FARC since 2003. 
 
"Additionally, what the FARC is willing to do to prevent a failure 
of Chvez (whom they consider a revolutionary leader) still remains 
to be seen." 
 
- "Chile -unclear reasons for demonstrations" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacisn" editorializes (08/31) "After the biggest 
protests in 17 years staged against the Chilean "Concertacion" 
government, President Michelle Bachelet and business chambers wonder 
what the real reason was for the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores 
(CUT) (trade union)'s call for a protest demonstration, independent 
of their nebulous disagreement with the very inappropriately named 
neo-liberal policies... 
 
"During a business dinner, Bachelet admitted that 'fairer salaries' 
are badly needed, although she disapproved of the violent 
methodology as a way to obtain them... 
 
"... In Chile, just like in most (Latin American) countries, there 
are minorities who hope that the (economic) model is derailed. In 
the demonstration the day before yesterday, some politicians 
identified with the left attempted to gain ground ... 
 
"Regardless of the structural problem (unequal income distribution), 
which will not be solved with circumstantial measures such as salary 
increases, the Chilean economy is in good shape. During the first 
half of the year, its GDP increased at a sustained six-percent 
pace... 
 
"... Hence Bachelet's justified suspicion about the real reasons for 
the demonstrations..."
