Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in Colombia yesterday pushing for the free trade agreement between the U.S. and the country led by President Alvaro Uribe. The FTA, was first signed in 2006, but has not yet been passed by the U.S. Congress. During the trip, she met with President Alvaro Uribe, as well as with trade unionists who are opposed to the FTA. The major reason for the opposition is that the TLC, as the FTA is known in Colombia, doesn’t automatically protect the rights of union workers, an important issue in a country where union leaders and activists are getting killed (40 in the last year alone).
Condi Wags Finger at Spain

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in Spain today to make nice with the Iberian nation but the first public words out of her mouth were of reproach. Condi criticized the Spanish government for its relationship with Cuba and said that Spain wasn’t pulling its weight in Afghanistan.She said:
Democratic states have an obligation to act democratically, meaning to support opposition in Cuba, not to give the regime the idea that they can transition from one dictatorship to another…I would like to see all of the allies do more, and Spain is included in that list.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Zapatero said he wasn’t surprised by the differences. The U.S. government and Spain have also been at odds over Spain’s relationship with Venezuela and its President Hugo Chavez.
If Condi is so concerned about how good relations between Cuba and Spain are maybe someone needs to show her the Iberia commercial.
