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?
I’m spanish.
This did become a meme, but fuck the king, this happened before his fall from grace.
Eh? Yes, according to the overall spanish population it was cool because he “disobeyed him” and "gave us " a democracy. My feelings are way, WAY more negative.
Thankfully, his support has diminished a lot since then.
Typical lib shit; chimping over a catchy slang and go shitting all over the carpet until their short attention is turned elsewhere
I logged off for a day and I come back to find simpathy for the fucking “king of Spain” in Chapo. This is terrible.
Good lord kid, that fucking shitbag must hang, everything about him is disgusting. OFC Chavez was right, even if he was deliberately being a dick to the spanish delegation pr whatever.
Asking about the details of an event while defacto siding with Chavez = Siding with a king
Okay bud.
At the meeting on 10 November 2007, Chávez repeatedly interrupted Zapatero to call Zapatero’s predecessor, José María Aznar, a “fascist” and “less human than snakes”, and accuse Aznar of having supported a failed coup d’état aimed at removing Chávez from power. Zapatero had earlier irritated Chávez by suggesting that Latin America needed to attract more foreign capital to combat its “chronic, deepening poverty”, and claimed that Chávez’s policies scared investors out of Latin America.
