King Juan Carlos is Arrogant, Says Chávez

BBC: Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has accused Spain's King Juan Carlos of "arrogance" after he told Mr Chavez to shut up during a summit in Chile.

However, Mr Chavez said he did not want a political crisis with Spain following the clash - only that Venezuela's head of state be respected.

Later, however, he said political, diplomatic and economic ties with Spain were being closely reviewed. Spain king 'arrogant' says Chavez (more)
