Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he had a pleasant meeting and discussion with the opposition candidate Enrique Capriles, whom he invited Monday evening to the presidential Palace following his re-election victory on Sunday.

“Believe me I’ve had a very pleasant chat with Henrique Capriles! I invited him to join the national unit effort, obviously keeping our differences” Chavez published in his twitter.

During the campaign Chavez launched a barrage of insults when referring to Capriles such as ‘swine’, ‘mediocre’ and permanently associated him with the “unpatriotic bourgeois” or with “empire financed” plots to thwart the elections and the results.
