Hugo Chavez has taken offence at the president of Colombia

The president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez “freezes” attitudes with Colombia in reply to the decision of Colombian president Uribe to refuse Chavez’s intermediary in negotiations with marxist insurgent grouping “The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia” (FARC).
According to Hugo Chavez’s words he will freeze attitudes with Colombia because he doesn’t trust Colombian government any more. According to Venezuelian President, actions of Colombian colleagues can be compared with “spittle in the face”, and Colombia “deserves the best president”.
The leader of Venezuela has accused Uribe of “unscrupulous lie” and has declared that the Colombian authorities have not estimated his efforts in negotiating process with insurgents so, they “do not want peace in the country”.
Hugo Chavez has not explained, in what “freezing” of attitudes with Colombia can result, but he has let know, that it threatens with deterioration of trading communications of Venezuela with its second-largest trading partner. Nevertheless this conflict could have serious economic consequences for both countries. It can be easily explained as two countries are the major commercial partners (with $4.1 billion in 2006).
