Chavez told to shut up

Chavez to King: Whose side were you on during failed coup?

Posted Mon Nov 12, 2007 9:45am AEDT

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has demanded that Spain's King Juan Carlos reveal whose side he was on during a failed coup attempt against him in 2002, a day after the monarch demanded Mr Chavez "shut up" at the Ibero-American Summit in Chile.

"The debate is now under way, Mr King," Mr Chavez told journalists.

"Were you aware [in advance] of the coup... against the legitimate, elected, democratic Government of Venezuela in 2002?" he said, the latest development in an increasingly bitter spat between Spain and Venezuela.

His remarks come after the King told Mr Chavez to "just shut up," Saturday (local time) and stormed out just before the scheduled end of the transatlantic forum, visibly furious at the Venezuelan leader's description of his former prime minister Jose Maria Aznaras a "fascist".

The dispute was a dramatic finale for the 17th meeting of the heads of state and government of Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries in Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Andorra, which started on Thursday.
