Chávez’ vice president had a comment for the representatives of the FARC upon the release of two hostages yesterday:
In the name of President Chávez, we are paying close attention to your fight. Keep up the spirit, keep up your strength, and count on us.
The FARC is a communist narco-terrorist group that operates in Colombia and Venezuela and funds its activities through drug trafficking and ransom from kidnappings. It currently holds 25 Venezuelan hostages, none of whose release Chávez has lobbied for.
Venezuela is planning to build two Kalashnikov rifle factories, and in 2005-2006 spent $3.4 billion on Russian arms.

Hey where did you get the number of hostages from Venezuela as 25?
Here is one that says that anyone who says that the FARC holds Venezuelans is a trator.

when I was in venezuela, I saw the head of the country’s dairy farmers association on TV, saying that they calculate 25 of their members are held by the FARC.
Ranchers are moving out of Venezuela to - among other places - Costa Rica because they no longer feel safe visiting their own rural properties. They could get kidnapped, if not by the FARC, then by any number of other criminal groups that operate there.
