Spain's King to Chavez - Por qué no te callas!

I’m surprised because no one has written anything about that incident. I’ve seen the images until boredom and it was last week’s topic everywhere.

So, what do you think about King Juan Carlos I reaction during the Iberoamerican Meeting in Chile?

The first time I saw the video I couldn't believe it, the King totally ignored formalities and had a human reaction. This video provokes me contradictory thoughts, on one hand I can’t accept King’s reaction because he is representing a Country and He leveled Chavez; but on the other hand He exposed himself, some media had explained that before leaving the Hall he told the President Zapatero “You have to remain here, but I’m leaving to point out we protest”.

Hugo Chavez had a complete lack of manners, even more when he is at an International Meeting with the aim of solving problems by diplomacy and avoiding conflicts.

Resulting from that “confrontation” relations between Venezuela and Spain are damaged, both countries need each other, one for foreign inversions and the other for natural resources, now it’s time for Diplomacy to arrange the situation, at least they’re obliged to get on.

Shame

Fortunately I haven’t lived a war. When I was a child I used to think war was a thing of the past, something about what my grandmother explained me some stories of her escape from Santander to Teruel to avoid the bombardments during the Spanish Civil War.

But sadly war is a current matter.

Behind every war there is an ambition, almost always money is the excuse. Money has different appearances depending on the country, many times it is petrol, but it can be gas, diamonds or anything valuable. It can hide individual interests, like benefiting someone’s business (arm market for example).

Effects of war last for years and even decades (remember Hiroshima) and the most affected are the weakest, population who don’t benefit from their country richness because it is always in hands of a few.

From every point of view war is a human shame.

I’ve posted a video of Miguel Gila’s view of the war, just to play this topic down. I hope you enjoy it.
