Demonstrators protest with a banner that reads "No more Chavez" on a central street of Medellin September 4, 2009. Thousands of people marched on Friday during a nationwide protest to reject what Colombia saw as an interventionist plan by Chavez. Tensions are high between the Andean neighbors over a Colombian plan to allow the United States more access to its military bases. Chavez, a Cuba ally, attacked Colombia as a "narco-state," ordered investigations of Colombian companies in Venezuela and urged his socialist party supporters to reach out to left-leaning Colombians and politicians.
