Hugo Chavez is still upset about the King of Spain telling him to shut up when he was on one of this ad Hominem rants. Now, he wants an apology, and offers some cryptic words about Spain’s investments:
Chavez again spoke about the incident during a news conference Wednesday, repeating his demand for an apology, while offering a veiled threat of retribution.
“He disrespected me, and he was laid bare before the world in his arrogance and also his impotence,” Chavez told reporters. “We don’t want this to become a political crisis.”
“Spain has many investments, private companies here and we don’t want to damage that, but if they are damaged, they are damaged. Spanish investment in Venezuela is not indispensable. … We don’t need it,” Chavez said, mentioning Spanish banks Banco Santander SA and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA.
“Whatever has been privatized can be taken back, we can take it back,” Chavez told Reuters. “If the government of Spain or the state of Spain … start to generate a conflict, things are not going to go well.”
That seems like a blatant threat to me. Show me respect…or else. This guy is showing more every day that he is nothing more than a thug.
I guess he is trying to give Spain an offer they can’t refuse.
