Brasilia. - Senator Tasso Jereissati, relator of a group of the Brazilian Congress that debates the adhesion from Venezuela to The Common Market of the South (Mercosur), will ask to veto the request by the “authoritarian character” of the government of Hugo Chavez.

“In spite of the argument of which the governors are fleeting and the permanent States, in Venezuela there is a process of disassembling of the democratic liberties, directed to perpetuate to president Chávez in the power”, said the senator, according to reviewed Efe.

Jereissati - del competing Party of Social Brazilian Democracia (PSDB) - is member of the Commission of Outer Relations of the House of Representatives that will present/display its report today and will decide it votes if or it leaves it slope for another session.

In case of being approved the report, the subject will happen to the plenary one of the Senate for a last voting, but it is rejected by the commission - as it tries Jereissati- is filed definitively, which will suppose that Venezuela will be to the margin of the block that integrates Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.

According to the senator, the “revolution” led by Chávez leads to the “militarization of the country and promotes an expansionistic political-ideological project and of constant intervention in subjects of other countries”.

Although he admits that Chávez has been chosen democratically, the Brazilian parliamentarian observes that the “political changes promoted by the Venezuelan Government privilege pro-government candidates” and the opponents who are chosen for a public position “practically are prevented to govern”.

Jereissati maintains that Chávez “governs of an almost dictatorial form” and with “a Congress absolutely submissive its interests”, which is in opposition to the “democratic spirit” who prevails in the Mercosur.

The Treaty of Adhesion from Venezuela to the Mercosur was approved by the Governments of Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay in 2006 July, but until now it has been only authenticated by the congresses Argentine and Uruguayan.

The entrance is pending of approval in the Brazilian Senate and also in the Paraguayan Parliament.

In Brazil the voting was blocked after which Chávez accused in 2007 the Brazilian legislators to be put under the United States, and the opposition, especially in the Senate, has held a tactically important position in front of the agent chief executive.

The president of the Senate, Jose Sarney, ally of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is even critical of Chávez, although he indicated that he would not take part against the project.

In Paraguay, the government of Fernando Lugo retired the subject of rules temporarily parliamentary, after in the middle of this year verified that there was no an atmosphere for his approval.
