| 2011-01-01 |
| [El Universal] Roy Daza, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, National Assembly (AN), stated on December 30 that the revocation of Venezuelan ambassador to the US Bernardo Alvarez's visa represents an escalation in Washington policy of aggression against the South American country. "We categorically reject this measure. It is an obvious act of retaliation, in the context of aggressions against Venezuela," Daza told state-run television channel Venezolana de Televisión (VTV). He added that "it seems that hard line stances within the government of Barack B.O.Obama are prevailing," state-run news agency AVN quoted. Daza pointed out that only in 2010, they recorded 29 attacks by official spokespersons of the United States Department of State against Venezuela "in attempts at meddling with domestic affairs." The purpose, he said, "is to keep the imperial mentality that dominates US policy." "If relations are broken it is the responsibility of Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton," ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill... he stressed. |
