The saga of the Joker and the King continues - Chavez now threatens Spain with sanctions
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has again threatened to impose sanctions against Spain. He says that if the right-wing Partido Popolar returns to government he will order the Spanish oil company Repsol to leave the country. On Friday he said that he will break off relations with Spain if King Juan Carlos does not apologise for telling him to shut up during a conference. The king made the comment after President Chavez referred to former Spanish prime minister and leader of the Partito Popolar Jose Maria Aznar as a fascist.Note EU-Digest: There is a Chinese proverb which says: "When you go up to the mountain too often, you will eventually encounter the tiger" - Mr. Chavez might win todays referendum, but he could also be defeated.
