Spanish head of government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero advised Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez one more time that he should respect Spanish institutions, following Chávez's renewed criticism of the King of Spain.

"The relationship with Venezuela and President Chávez is based on two principles: Chávez should respect Spanish institutions, as well as the Spanish government does respect the Venezuelan ones. A positive relation is most convenient," said Zapatero during a press conference when queried about Chávez's recent remarks on the King of Spain.

The King of Spain "thinks he is superior and fails to understand what is going on in Latin America," said Chávez last Sunday during his TV and radio show "Aló, Presidente." Then, he recalled that King Juan Carlos suggested him to shut out during the Ibero-American Summit held last November in Chile, AFP quoted.

On that occasion, Chávez accused former Spanish president José María Aznar of being a fascist.

"If Hugo Chávez goes to the summit between the European Union and Latin America, I will very likely have a talk with him," added Zapatero.
