Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez said that the next US president must "talk and listen" to the world. He also said that the new leader of the United States would be accountable for the implementation of neoliberal policies and their impact on the global financial crisis.
"The next president of the United States must sit down and talk to the world. He has to do it." "Not with Chávez, I am not important," said the Venezuelan leader on Saturday night during a meeting with regional media in the eastern state of Sucre, DPA reported.
Chávez made these remarks when he was asked about the recent statements made by Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama on a possible dialogue with the Venezuelan president if Obama wins the elections next November 4.
Chávez said that both Obama and Republican presidential candidate John McCain follow instructions from their advisory teams to win votes of certain sectors of the US population.
"Obama and McCain, who are now candidates, follow instructions from their electioneering teams. Therefore, they say on many occasions certain things in order to get votes in specific sectors or to come closer to other sectors," Chávez said.
