CARACAS, Venezuela — Hugo Chavez accused German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party of sharing the same ideals as Adolf Hitler and warned he might confront her at Friday’s summit of Latin American and European leaders in Peru.
The Venezuelan president lashed out at Merkel late Sunday, after she told an interviewer that Chavez doesn’t speak for all of Latin America.
Chavez described Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union party as “the same right wing that supported Hitler and fascism.”
“Ms. Chancellor, you can go to …” he said, pausing. “Because you are a lady, I won’t say any more.”
