Maduro to Spanish Foreign Minister : "Take your nose out of Venezuela"

Posted on 05/01/13


The president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, advised the authorities of Spain to "get their noses out of Venezuela", over the proposal of the Chancellor of the nation, José Manuel García Margallo to mediate between the opposition and the Bolivarian government because of the violence from the rightwing after their refusal to recognize the results of the April 14 election.

During a meeting with socialist workers in the Junin Theatre reopened in downtown Caracas, President Maduro contrasted the reality of the Venezuelan people with those of the citizens of Spain, where workers are marching in the streets because their pensions were taken away and their wages were lowered.

"Spain's foreign minister came out and said that he's ready to come mediate in Venezuela. Sir, don't come mediate in Venezuela, go to your own streets to respond to the Spanish working class from whom you've taken away the right to work, salary and pensions," he said.

"Spanish Foreign Minister, take your nose out of Venezuela. Out of here, Spanish Foreign Minister, you impertinent. Venezuela is to be respected," stressed the head of state after which he was cheered by the audience shouting "that's how you govern."

He then sent a special greeting to "the Spanish working class. "They have to get out in the street to fight for what the fascist right took away from them. Just imagine what that right would do if it could get its hands on political power in Venezuela"....

There's nothing to negotiate. There's nothing to be mediated. The Venezuelan people spoke. They chose their president in elections consensually seen by international observers as fair, free and clean, besides confirmation by audits. Period.

Whiners will whine.
