I see that it came from VHeadline, but it is not in Nueva Prensa as far as I can find. The only story today on Adel El Zabayal never mentioned Crystallex or mining. Also checked the other papers and he is not mentioned in any. He is a candidate for governor and is railing against Rangel Gomez. Maybe someone could get Roy to post a link to the original story (assuming it exists).

Here is the story I found in NP:

Writing by Yralis Muñoz Palm Saturday, 24 of May of 2008

In this opportunity the precandidate to governor and deputy to the National Assembly, Adel the Sabayal, indicated that they have lifted of formal way a series of denunciations before the National and Regional Direction of the party in order to demand answers on the multiple irregularities which presumably some precandidates have incurred. He indicated that in the state Bolivar present governor, Francisco Rangel Go'mez, is using of “crude and abusive” way the resources of the region to make proselytism political. He described as a “show” the act as presentation of the precandidates the past carried out Sunday in the facilities of Sintraferrominera and affirmed that the vice-president of the region, Yelitze Santaella, had to suspend the event thus to avoid to favor some precandidate. “With these denunciations I do not want to question the work that realize the regional authorities of the party, but is necessary that they pronounce themselves with respect to the denunciations that have come realizing in order to guarantee the transparency of the electoral process” it limited the parliamentarian. Also, he reiterated that the conditions so that Rangel Go'mez is disqualified like precandidate to have failed to fulfill the internal procedures of the PSUV, as far as the electoral campaign are given talks about. The deputy exhorted to the regional and national authorities of the PSUV not to allow “ventajismo” on the part of some precandidates, who are worth of their positions to make proselytisms political. The Zabayal located the precandidates not to fall in provocations, because it denounced that a strategy exists that looks for that the aspirings incur lack thus to disqualify their candidacies.

Disinformation

The aspiring to governor also declared that the regional authorities have not provided the cronogram of activities, in who the aspirings will present the bases their proposals government. He explained that disinformation as far as this subject exists, even indicated that never he was invited upon presentment of precandidates who were realized Sunday 18 of May the past. Before the absence of a cronogram, the aspiring to the Mayorship of the Caroní and delegate of the PSUV, Norkys Diaz, informed that the battalions of the state have organized a series of activities in order that the aspirings present their proposals. “The battalions have assumed the leadership and protagonism that they have at this moment historical that lives the party, for it they are organizing events that they have like main function to know the candidates and its proposals”. The militant of the government party exhorted to the regional authorities to that they publish the cronogram of activities in order that the candidates have equality of opportunities. Diaz needed that this weekend in the Unare parish will be being been realising an activity with some precandidates, who you will present/display its proposals. The event will be carried out from the three of afternoon in the facilities of the multiple field of Caujaro. Also, an encounter with the women in the Bolivariana House will take place Sunday, from the 11 in the morning.

The deputy to the National Assembly, Adel the Zabayal, ratified that in the internal elections the vote is totally secret and does not exist any possibility that is known by whom voted each militant. To this he realised it explanation, in view that of some workers of the dependencies of the Interior of the state Bolivar is “being intimidated” thus to favor the candidacy of Rangel Go'mez in the elections of next the 1 of June.
