Capriles, who claims that victory in the post-Chávez election was stolen from him, was recently in Chile, but President Sebastián Piñera agreed to meet with him only at a private dinner, not at an official meeting in La Moneda Palace. Former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, the front-runner in the country’s upcoming presidential election in November, did not meet with Capriles at all, citing “agenda problems.”
有意思的是，其他拉美民选领导人一致容忍着这些反民主行为。地区峰会的演讲常常一讲就是几个小时，但很少会有内容涉及到民主倒退。声称其查韦斯死后选举的胜利被窃走的卡普利亚斯最近身在智利，但智利总统皮涅拉只同意在私人晚餐上与他会晤，而不是在拉莫内达宫（La Moneda Palace）举行正式会晤。前智利总统巴切莱特、11月大选的领先者则不会接见卡普利亚斯，原因是“日程安排问题”。
