US embassy cable - 05GUATEMALA2022

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (C) Guatemalan MFA official told polcouns that FM Briz 
declined to accept Venezuela's invitation to attend August 28 
Social Charter event.  MFA instructed Guatemala's ambassador 
in Caracas, Ivan Espinoza, to attend the GOV-hosted meeting 
"in a listening mode." 
 
2. (C) Polcouns made other reftel points; in response, MFA 
official noted that Chavez likely would not succeed in 
hijacking the Social Charter negotiation process, since there 
already were other proposals on the table, including Chile's, 
Mexico's and Central America's.
