SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Jose Luis Zapatero, Spanish Prime Minister "Mr. President Chavez, I think there is an essential principle in dialogue, and that is to respect, and to be respected. We should strive not to fall into disqualification. It is possible to have radical discrepancies in ideas, and to denounce ideas and actions, without falling into disqualifications." 6. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Carlos Lage, Vice-President of Cuba (overlaid with mid of Chavez listening): "We believe Venezuela, and President Chavez, has a right to defend himself, defend himself as president.

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Jose Luis Zapatero, Spanish Prime Minister +++AUDIO AS INCOMING+++ "I will reiterate again, in the name of the government of Spain, the government of Spain considers it completely inappropriate, not acceptable in a democratic forum, where there is room for dialogue and all ideas, and all views can be expressed, that there are disqualifications for people who were exercising their responsibility as a popular representative. I hope this is the last time, the last time, because to construct democratic dialogue, you must, above all, show respect towards diversity of ideas. It is the antithesis of what the popular will reflects." 9. Police forming line outside summit site STORYLINE: The Ibero-American summit ended on an unusually heated note on Saturday, when an angry exchange of words culminated with the King of Spain asking Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to "please shut up." Chavez, the outspoken leftist leader, triggered the exchange by repeatedly referring to former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar as a "fascist." Aznar, a conservative and a close Bush ally who backed the U.S.-led war in Iraq, "is a fascist," Chavez said in a speech to leaders from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. "Fascists are not human. A snake is more human." Spain's current socialist prime minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, responded during his own allotted time by urging Chavez to be more diplomatic in his words and respect other leaders despite political differences. "I think there is an essential principle in dialogue, and that is to respect, and to be respected. We should strive not to fall into disqualification. It is possible to have radical discrepancies in ideas, and to denounce ideas and actions, without falling into disqualifications," he said, eliciting applause from the gathered heads of state. Chavez repeatedly tried to interrupt, but his microphone was off. Spanish King Juan Carlos, seated next to Zapatero, angrily turned to Chavez and said, "Please, why don't you shut up?" Chavez carried on talking, but his comments were inaudible as his microphone was off. But the Venezuelan leader later used time ceded to him by his close ally, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, to answer Zapatero's speech. "I do not offend by telling the truth," he said. "The Venezuelan government reserves the right to respond to any aggression, anywhere, in any space and in any manner." Speaking later outside the summit, Zapatero reiterated his criticism of Chavez's behaviour. #Zapatero #Chavez #Ibero-American #summit Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
