Spain's King Juan Carlos told Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday
to "shut up" during
closing speeches by leaders from the Latin world that
brought the Ibero-American
summit to an
acrimonious end.
"Why don't you shut up?" the king
shouted at Chavez,
pointing a finger at the president when he tried to interrupt a speech by Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
Zapatero
was in the middle of a speech at the summit of
mostly leftist leaders from Latin America, Portugal, Spain and Andorra, and was criticizing Chavez for calling
former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar a fascist.
Chavez, a leading leftist
foe of Washington, also attacked Spanish businessman Gerardo Diaz Ferran
earlier in the week after he questioned the safety of foreign investments in Venezuela.
"I want to express to you President Hugo Chavez that in a forum where there are democratic governments ... one of the essential principles is respect," Zapatero told the leaders
gathered in the Chilean capital, Santiago.
"You can
disagree radically, without being disrespectful," Zapatero, a socialist, said
sternly, drawing applause from some of the other heads of state.
