Colombian activists organized a global protest against Venezuela´s President Chavez Friday.  Organizers said the “No More Chavez” protest was held in more than 110 cities around Colombia and the world, including New York, Paris and Washington DC. Participants said they wanted to protest the Venezuelan president´s intervention in Colombia´s affairs and his alleged support of Colombia´s FARC guerrillas.

FSRN host Manuel Rueda spoke to the organizer of the “No More Chavez” protest, Oscar Morales. Morales is a Colombian engineer who made international headlines last year when he used the internet to organize a 5 million person march against Colombia´s FARC guerrillas.
