1. (C) Guatemalan MFA official told polcouns that FM Briz
declined to accept Venezuela's invitation to attend August 28
Social Charter event. MFA instructed Guatemala's ambassador
in Caracas, Ivan Espinoza, to attend the GOV-hosted meeting
"in a listening mode."


2. (C) Polcouns made other reftel points; in response, MFA
official noted that Chavez likely would not succeed in
hijacking the Social Charter negotiation process, since there
already were other proposals on the table, including Chile's,
Mexico's and Central America's.
