Rangel: Venezuela does not have to report to the US
Venezuelan Executive VP José Vicente Rangel Tuesday
replied to US Department of State Spokesman Adam Ereli's statements
by saying that the US administration keeps on "attacking the
Venezuelan government and its people."
"Venezuela does not have to account to the US administration
for what is happening here. Venezuela will provide the information
requested by the Colombian government in due time and under
no pressure," said Rangel in a press release issued by the
Vice President's office.
Rangel accused the US for "fanning the confrontation flames"
instead of assuming an "inconspicuous stance which favors
understanding between Colombia and Venezuela."
