Contact information for Venezuela press office in London?

May 14, 2006 11:07 AM

Hugo Chavez is in London. Does anybody have a quick link to the Venezuelan Government press office?

Phone and email contacts appreciated. The Government's website is hard to navigate. Specific contacts for this press office in London would be nice, too. Many thanks.

Well, the number for the Venezuelan embassy in London is:

Main: 020 7584 4206 / 581 2776
Fax: [phone]

Monday to Friday:
9:00 am -1:00 pm / 2:00 pm-5:00 pm

I can't find anything specific for the press office.

Response by poster: indeed atrazine, that's as far as I can get too..

I'm trying some of the campaigns/organisations that put the visit together.

I hate to state the obvious, but have you called the embassy to ask if they have the number?

Indeed, the .ve website is confusing.

This page provides at the bottom the following machine-translated hunk of text:

[e-mail] [e-mail]

For request of press material such as: Archives/CD`s with last events of Web's Pages/Photographies and Videos, favor
to communicate with the Main directorate of Information and Opinion by the telephones: 806-4671 / Fax: [phone]

The email addresses are apparently those of the main directorate of Information and Opinion, which are part of the Ministry of Exterior Information.

I think that means "press office."
