Chavez wants more say for smaller economies in international financial scenario
24/11/2008 17:16
Small and medium countries should not be excluded when dealing with the
international financial crisis, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said
yesterday.
Not only the rich nations and emerging economies, but small and
medium countries "also have things to say (about the crisis)," he told reporters
during a visit to a polling center in a Caracas school, where he voted in the
country's regional and municipal elections.
He said that solution to the
problem will not come out from the United States, where "the causes of the
global disaster" were created decades ago.
Chavez said that financial crises
will recur if most of the countries are not released from what he described as
"the (US) dollar dictatorship" and continue with the free market defended by the
United States.
He reaffirmed the need for the United Nations to summon an
emergency session to analyze the crisis globally.
