Chavez slams US meddling
Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday warned the United States not to meddle in his country's affairs following comments by a U.S. official about a possible referendum on his rule. "I have to remind the U.S. one more time that they have no right to express their opinion ... we are an independent country not a colony of north America," the president told thousands of cheering supporters during a street rally.
We warn the president of Venezuela that he has no right to express an opinion. The United States is an independent country and not a colony of a pipsqueak wannabe dictator.
