Chavez accused the observers from the European Union and the Organization of American States of being part of a U.S.-backed plan "to destabilize" Venezuela, saying they belonged to "parties of the extreme right" and their reports contained "lies."

Quote:

Although the EU and OAS missions declared Sunday's vote fair and transparent, the EU noted that Chavez's government used television and radio broadcasts as "an excessive resource" during the elections campaign. The OAS delegation observed "political propaganda from high level public officials, including federal, state and municipal officials."

Chavez defended his right to appear on TV - something he does almost daily - and denied that he urged Venezuelans to vote for pro-government candidates.

Oh this is rich. The EU accusing other sovreign nations of using hte media to sell it's own government. That's not the pot calling the kettle black, that's a pot painted extra black and then burnt even blacker, while being looked at with dark glasses calling a kettle black.
