Libya .- Chávez and Fernández de Kirchner criticized the "colonialism" imposed by U.S. and NATO forces in Libya

BUENOS AIRES, 29 Mar. The presidents of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, and Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, have lashed out on Tuesday the "colonialism" that supposedly have imposed the United States and NATO in Libyan territory by "bombing" of civilians. Chavez arrived in Argentina on Monday as part of a tour that will take place this week in the region that will also include Uruguay, Bolivia and Colombia, where he will hold meetings with the leaders of those countries considered key players in the political and economic strategy of the Bolivarian government.

"Well we can talk about a new form of colonialism most blatant and fierce. Now the U.S. and its NATO allies, and allies of the United Nations, they feel the greatest freedom to bomb countries and say it is to save people, but they want to overthrow a government, "Chavez said in a statement to the media.

Both presidents agreed to condemn the military action in Libya, considering that the main objective is to overthrow the leader Moammar Gadhafi, who has maintained a system 41 years ago in the African nation's vast oil reserves. Chavez and Fernandez de Kirchner stressed that, unlike what happens in other regions, South America is a "region of peace." "We are demonstrating not only economic and social achievements, but we've shown so many times wanted to show us the great centers of civilization alleged, resolved their differences following the bombings," said the president of Argentina.

"We do not want extraneous factors to South America come to disturb the peace we need to move forward in the development project of our peoples, for its part has said the Venezuelan leader.
