Brazil wants no clashes with Venezuela

Brazil does not want to antagonize with Venezuela, but it does not mean
Brasilia has to share every Caracas' stance, Thursday said Brazilian
chief of cabinet Dilma Rousseff.

"(Venezuelan President Hugo) Chávez' proposals will always be heard by
the (Brazilian) government," Rousseff said. "We do not want an
antagonist stance, but it does not mean we have to agree with
everything," she told reporters and the audience attending a debate
hosted by newspaper Folha de S. Paulo on its official website, AP
quoted.

Rousseff, who is one of the closest and most influential aides of
Brazilian ruler Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, would not point to any
specific topics where Brazil's stance is different from Venezuela's.

She refused to comment on private television channel Radio Caracas
Televisión (RCTV), which went off the air on free open signal since
May, when Chávez would not renew its broadcast license.

"It does not pertain to us to talk about the merits" regarding the
decision made in connection with RCTV, "but their situation is quite
different from ours."
