Venezuelan Embassy in Madrid complains about smear campaign against Chávez

El País had to apologize on Thursday for making a front page both in its printed and electronic versions of the photo presumably of President Chávez.
"A mere line of apology to its readers cannot remedy whatever reveals the way of publishing such material," the communiqué wrapped up.
