"Convalescing" Federation of Chambers of Industry & Commerce (Fedecamaras) president, Carlos Fernandez has turned up in the Canary Islands playing the latest hardliner opposition "Cuban Communist card" for all it's worth ... "The Cuban government's interference in Venezuelan affairs is public and notorious." 

According to news reports, Fernandez is currently a legal resident in Miami.

Fernandez calls on the USA government to be more aggressive towards the Chavez Frias administration, which he claims has become a serious threat to US interests in Latin America. 

The man, who refuses to pass the Fedecamaras presidency on to someone else, not that he is ill and living outside of Venezuela, suggests that Venezuela is fast becoming totalitarian and a Cuban satellite ... "the brain is in Havana not Caracas." 

As the most important country in the Americas, Fernandez says the USA must deal with the Cuban-Venezuelan axis which is threatening Central America and democracy on the continent. 

Fernandez was in Canary Islands at the invitation of the Canary Islands Young Businessmen Association which awarded Fedecamaras a special plaque for its work in Venezuela.
