    REF: QUITO 661

    Classified By: Ambassador Kristie Kenney, Reason 1.4 (b)

    ¶1.  (C) SUMMARY:  Ecuadorian President Lucio Gutierrez
    confirmed to the Ambassador he will not/not travel to Caracas
    in April, as was earlier rumored (Reftel).  His decision
    comes as no surprise -- we repeatedly expressed concern over
    the visit, noting Chavez had little local appeal.  END
    SUMMARY.

    ¶2.  (C) At a March 28 working breakfast, Gutierrez himself
    raised Venezuela, asking the Ambassador for a "readout" of
    her personal visit to Caracas.  In response, she noted the
    city appeared tired and run-down, a product of Venezuela's
    continued polarization and its leader's focus on ideology,
    not governance.  Chavez was directing his oil windfall not
    according to need, but to political obedience and expedience.
     Did Gutierrez still intend to travel there in April?

    ¶3.  (C) The president replied no, concurring with the
    Ambassador's expressed doubts over the visit's benefits.  He
    also cited the Venezuelans' inability to craft a useful visit
    agenda.  Further, the president refuted Caracas media play
    that alleged the Ecuadorian was urgently seeking the summit.
    Chavez was pressuring him, Gutierrez clarified, not
    vice-versa.  Taking into consideration the Venezuelan
    leader's media misinformation campaign, the visit organizers'
    poor performance, and the likely bad optics of a call on
    Chavez (a regurgitation of earlier Ambassadorial talking
    points), Gutierrez had erased the trip from his April travel
    calendar.  A late fall trip was still a possibility, however.

    ¶4.  (C) The Ambassador agreed there was little to gain,
    politically or commercially, from the president visiting
    Caracas in April.  If he must travel north in November, she
    continued, he might want to couch the visit in regional
    terms, visiting Venezuela and other South American nations on
    a multi-stop tour.  Gutierrez welcomed the suggestion.

    ¶5.  (C) COMMENT:  We had repeatedly hinted of our disquiet
    over the visit and suspected that Gutierrez's Chavez
    flirtation could have been intended to temper our support for
    democracy defenders pressing for changes here in Ecuador.
    While keeping the door open for a later visit, Gutierrez may
    have reconsidered for domestic political reasons -- with his
    Congressional alliance crumbling, he needs our support more
    than ever.  Increasing ill will toward his Venezuelan
    counterpart may also have played a part.
