The Venezuelan government should demand documentary filmmaker Michael Moore to correct his false statements on President Hugo Chávez, made in a TV show in the United States, Venezuelan-US lawyer and researcher Eva Golinger said.
Golinger added in state-run radio RNV that the statements of the film director are disrespectful and outrageous and make fun of the image of the Venezuelan head of state, "by linking him with alcohol, drunkenness and parties;" at the same time, Golinger described Moore statements of "racists" after he stereotyped President Chávez "as the typical Latino tequila drinker."
Golinger added that Moore has lied when he said that the Venezuelan President has asked him to write his speech at the UN General Assembly. The lawyer described Moore as a coward.
10:07 AM. DIPLOMACY. Admired by the Colombian guerrilla after his coup attempt in 1992, the then lieutenant colonel Hugo Chávez Frías received financial support by the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) for his projects after his capture that year. This mostly explains the relationship and "debt" between the parties, as revealed by a paper of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) of the United Kingdom.
