We need international help.

I don't see why the United States has to get involved in this issue, ... It is a decision involving the sovereignty of Venezuela.

I think it's strange that such a pragmatic country ... is reacting this way to a perfectly serious and responsible decision by the Venezuelan government.

Until now everything has depended on Mexico, they took the initiative to attack President Chavez and President Kirchner and then the decision to move the ambassadors.

And is Saudi Arabia a democracy, or Kuwait?

It's never enough, given the magnitude of the tragedy, solidarity is never enough.

The best relations with the United States.

The ball is in the U.S. court after this criminal statement by a citizen of that country, ... It's huge hypocrisy to maintain this discourse against terrorism and at the same time, in the heart of that country, there are entirely terrorist statements like those.

Past tragedies have given people an opportunity to prosper. Now we face the challenge of ensuring all the money and material help will be managed with absolute honesty, ... We hope not a single dollar will be wasted.
