CARACAS, (Reuters) – Venezuela has lashed out at new U.S. television show “Legends” for an episode that mentions Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in connection with the buying of chemical weapons to quell unrest at home.
“For lies and manipulations against President @NicolasMaduro in the series “Legends” we’re requesting (National Telecoms Commission) Conatel open an investigation,” Information Minister Delcy Rodriguez said in a tweet late on Monday night.
“The series Legends aired on U.S. channel TNT represents a Hollywood script typical of imperialist actions against legitimate governments,” she added.
Fox 21, the Twenty-First Century Inc-owned producer of the crime drama, apologized to Maduro in a statement.
