I know the (probably correct) instinct is to side with Chavez, but I don't know the details of this event and ideally wanted opinions from comrades who pay closer attention to South American/Spanish politics.

Do you think Chavez had it coming? Or was he justified in his actions?

    At the meeting on 10 November 2007, Chávez repeatedly interrupted Zapatero to call Zapatero's predecessor, José María Aznar, a "fascist" and "less human than snakes", and accuse Aznar of having supported a failed coup d'état aimed at removing Chávez from power. Zapatero had earlier irritated Chávez by suggesting that Latin America needed to attract more foreign capital to combat its "chronic, deepening poverty", and claimed that Chávez's policies scared investors out of Latin America.

      Huh, Zapatero has come a long way. He still sucks but he attacked the EU the other day for still supporting Guaido and basically making a fool of themselves (legally).
