Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Calls Colombian Defense Minister Threat to Region

Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez has called Colombian Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos a threat to the region following Santos’ declaration that he would not rule out entering other countries while pursuing left-wing rebels.

During his radio address on Sunday Chavez stated, “Mr. Santos, the Minister of Defense of Colombia, has been declared an enemy of Venezuela.” The President continued, “What Minister Santos has said is a threat to the peace of South America and what he represents, the most fascist current of the Colombian oligarchy.”

Chavez warned that any Colombian troops entering Venezuela would be treated as an act of war and would be met with a military response.

Colombian troops entered Ecuador last year in their pursuit of a FARC leader and that act nearly triggered a military response as both Ecuador and Venezuela mobilized troops along their border, saying Colombia had violated the sovereignty of another Latin American country.
