I’ve never seen anything like this! The place: The Iberian-American Summit Meeting in Chile; The context: José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Prime Minister of Spain is demanding Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez’s respect for former Prime Minister José María Aznar and for all elected leaders; The unexpected twist: King Juan Carlos of Spain tells Chavez to “shut up”, as the populist dictator tries to interrupt Rodriguez Zapatero; The moral of the story: it’s hard to be diplomatic when you’re up against such a contemptibly obnoxious character.
