Chavez administration to U.S.: stay out of our business!
In the latest round of the diplomatic war between Venezuela and the U.S., Venezuelan Deputy Foreign Minister Mari Pili Hernandez demanded that the U.S. stay out of Venezuelan affairs. Hernandez’s words came in the aftermath of Condoleezza Rice’s recent remarks that Venezuela is “attempting to influence neighbors away from democratic processes” and is a “sidekick” of Iran. In another verbal battle between the two states, Venezuela’s Vice President accused the U.S. of running a “smear campaign” to block Venezuela from having a seat on the U.N. Security Council.
