NO LOVE FOR SANZ OVER VENEZUELA VALENTINE SHOW

Spanish singer ALEJANDRO SANZ faces a second Venezuelan ban after government officials confirmed they're trying to cancel a rescheduled concert there later this month (Feb08). Sanz was slated to perform in Caracas in November (07) but that show was scrapped over comments he made against Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. The Spaniard has regularly expressed his dislike of the President, and once stated he'd only perform in Venezuela when Chavez's term in office had ended. But the singer reconsidered his stance when fans begged him to perform. However that concert was scrapped due to government opposition and now it looks as if the rescheduled show could be cancelled too. Members of the Caracas Mayor's office want to prohibit the 14 February (08) concert. Mayor's spokesperson Evelio Arrieta tells PeopleenEspanol.com, "I think Sanz should be brave and recognise what he said about not giving a concert until Hugo Chavez is out of power."

This is typical of the Chavez regime. Chavez comes to the United States and in front of the United Nations calls the President of the host country "el Diablo", the Devil. He calls the President of Colombia a liar when that President claims and then later pr oves the FARC lied to the world when they said they would release a mother and her son, whom they held hostage, when the son had been in an orphanage for years. Chavez has never apologized for either slanderous statement. Why shouldn't Mr. Sanz be able to perform for his fans? If Chavez is able to speak so disparingly about the United States and yet he continues to do business with them, then Mr. Sanz should be able to say the same things about Venezuela and Chavez and still be able to do business in that country. Chavez doesn't seem to extend the same courtesy of freedom of opinion and speech that he himself exercises constantly whenever he is in front of a microphone or television camera. That's not Socialism. That is Communism.
