Disgrace Part II

Finally found the media release from Unesco. The mockery will take place on January 28, 2006 on the anniversary of Marti's birthday. The award is for "an individual or institution having contributed to the unity and integration of the countries of Latin American and the Caribbean and to the preservation of their identities, cultural traditions and historical values. " The only unity here is the desire for all of Latin-America to go down the slippery slope of Marxism. Unity for hatred, division, Godless society, and total control. Yes I can see the Democratic values cleary in Chavez?
