Back in 2007 the Spanish king told Hugo Chavez to shut up after he kept interrupting the Spanish PM and it basically became a meme: What do we think of this?(en.wikipedia.org)

I know the (probably correct) instinct is to side with Chavez, but I don’t know the details of this event and ideally wanted opinions from comrades who pay closer attention to South American/Spanish politics.

Do you think Chavez had it coming? Or was he justified in his actions?

There are not many people you should side against when you have to agree with the King of Spain to do so

Chavez was a king that delivered for his people in a way his country had not seen. Spain has not had an equal.

Having said that, it is very important that a part of the reason is that they would not afford him the same luxury if their roles were reversed. Sometimes it is important to be respectful and sometimes the opposite
