The Venezuelan leader, Hugo Chavez, has dismissed President George Bush's anti-poverty proposals as the US leader's visit to Latin America was met with furious demonstrations across the region yesterday.
...Mr Chavez - who has made poverty reduction a central plank of his own domestic agenda - said the proposals of his ideological rival were nothing more than a "wolf in sheep's clothing".
He also mocked a $75m (£39m)initiative to help teach Latin American children to speak English:
"He's a symbol of domination and we are a cry of rebellion against the domination ... he's trying to trick our people to divide us," said Mr Chavez, before heading for a meeting with Argentina's president, NĂ©stor Kirchner. "We don't need tips from the empire."
