A. You have very uneducated journalists in our country.
Q. What is your idea of an uneducated journalist?
A. They believe that in order to have an interview, they have to aggress the other person. They must learn to respect people, especially the president of their republic.
Q. Our politicians probably don't like being attacked, but they respect the free media.
A. I respect the media, but I also respect the rights of the other person. You don't have the kind of journalists we do. Secondly, not all things are good in this country. In our country, if someone calls you a killer, a thief, a dishonest man, he must prove it; otherwise he goes to jail. I know that here in the United States you can say a lot of things without proof.
Q. What do you think about President Bush and your relationship with the United States?
A. We have not had any high-level contact with this administration.
Q. Is there anything you would like the American people to know about you?
A. Perhaps they can be convinced that we are honest people who are doing what anyone would do in our country with huge inequalities.
