Pot-banging protest against Jimmy Carter in Caracas
A group of people opposed to President Hugo Chávez Wednesday
staged a pot-banging protest against former U.S. President Jimmy
Carter, who was at a restaurant in Caracas, sources confirmed
to news agency EFE.
The sources, close to the Carter Center and speaking on condition
of anonymity, explained that another group of clients at the
restaurant applauded the former U.S. president in response to
the protesters.
Carter was forced to leave the Limoncello restaurant, in east
Caracas El Rosal area, "under the protection of his bodyguards."
The Venezuelan opposition has harshly criticized both the Organization
of American States and the Carter Center after they certified
President Chávez' win in last Sunday recall vote.
