The Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister Miguel Moratinos emphasized here Wednesday Venezuelan Government collaboration in the antiterrorist fight against ETA Basque armed group.

  In a control session of the executive at the Deputies Congress (lower House) Moratinos condemned the People's Conservative Party (PCP), main opposition party, to continue questioning Caracas cooperation in that item.

The FM assessed contribution of President Hugo Chavez' government following the verdict of the National Audience Judge Eloy Velasco, denouncing evidences of an alleged Venezuelan collaboration with ETA and the Colombian guerrilla.

According to that magistrate opinion the Bolivarian Republic provided an hypothetical alliance between the Basque underground organization and the Colombian revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) that was rejected by Chavez administration outright.

Venezuela is not the enemy but ETA, assured the chief of the Spanish diplomacy in his response to the PP spokesman at the Congress Foreign Commission Gustavo Aritegui who insisted on the right wing thesis to involve Caracas in the matter.

Moratinos remarked that the Bolivarian authorities are working along with the justice and the police in this European nation once they were aware of the verdict of the National Audience Judge.

As an evidence of that collaboration he mentioned the previous visit of Venezuelan foreign minister deputy for Europe Temir Porras to this capital.

Sources of Caracas embassy in Madrid confirmed to Prensa Latina that Porras met with officials of the Spanish Foreign, Interior and Justice Ministries and all parliamentarian groups.

Moratinos demanded conservatives for respect and commitment in this delicate issue because it is no more but a State policy.
