On Friday thousands of people demonstrated against Chavez in marches held in several countries, organized by Colombians on the internet.
"The best-attended rallies took place in Colombia, Honduras and Miami and drew several thousand people, while in Caracas a few hundred took part in marches either for or against the Venezuelan leader.
Small anti-Chavez demonstrations, none of which attracted more than 200 people, also were held in New York, Madrid, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Panama City, Quito, La Paz, Paris and Berlin.
The biggest rally took place in Bogota, where between 8,000 and 10,000 people marched from different parts of the capital to the downtown area.
Friday night the Venezuelan president said that the worldwide demonstrations against him were a “failure” and added that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was behind them."
