Personally, I'd bet it was to discuss Spain's arms sale to VZ, which was signed yesterday and is verging on a hostile act by both Spain and VZ.
Obviously, Hugo doesn't want to talk about it...
That makes a whole lot more sense.
I was working late, FNC on in the background, but I thought they were saying that the various dignitaries in VZ were claiming to have *known nothing*(tm) at all about any plane of US legislators, especially being ordered to not disembark, etc, etc, etc........
I have watched communists play these "come away closer" and "I hate you why won't you love me" games for too many decades now.
Quite boring and they always lose.
