Chile regrets Chávez' comments against OAS Secretary-General


Representatives of every Chilean political sector rebutted Tuesday the demeaning Monday of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez to Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary-General, Chilean José Miguel Insulza.

Last Monday, during a ceremony where incoming ministers were sworn in, Chávez lashed out at Insulza and even urged him to quit.

On January 5th, Insulza asked the Venezuelan government to think it over. Reference was made to the government decision not to renew a broadcasting license to private TV channel RCTV, branded as "coupster."

Insulza's comments annoyed the ruler, who called him an "idiot" and "empire viceroy." Additionally, he also accused the secretary-general of meddling into internal affairs, Efe reported.

Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs Alejandro Foxley told journalists that he lamented the "comments on the OAS Secretary-General," Reuters disclosed.
