Created and financed by the government of Venezuela,〔 〕 VIO was registered with the United States Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.〔Foreign Agents Registration Act - (Venezuela Information Office - FARA fillings 29.08.04 )〕 While operational, conservative and pro-opposition outlets accused the agency of being propaganda organization of the Venezuelan government and the Bolivarian Revolution. ==History== Hugo Chávez set up the VIO in 2003 in order to combat criticism from the United States.〔 In September 2003, VIO contacted Global Exchange in order to "ensure success" of their campaign while also discussing "ideas for strategizing on Venezuela" and "to begin conference calls of solidarity groups".〔〔 In February 2004, it closed and then suddenly reopened a month later with new staff and a budget of $660,000.〔〔 In 2005, the VIO received about $800,000 for the year. By 2007, the funding received by the VIO had risen to over $1,000,000.〔 The VIO's "rethinkvenezuela.com" website has not been active since 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090209222357/http://rethinkvenezuela.com/index.html )〕
