maybe i've been here too long but i seem to remember folks saying that hugo himself granted kry permission for the MOA.....i know hugo is the one that approved mining activity in the imataca but other than that what did he have to do with kry being granted the contract? i know it went through "rangel the rascual" when he was director of the CVG (side note: ranguel and sanz both recently took a trip with chavez "together" with hugo on a plane ride to brazil)...but aside from this what DIRECT dealings has hugo had with KRY???
