During his visit to the United States, Caracas metropolitan mayor Antonio Ledezma said that the political crisis facing Iranians brings out into the open the "truths" that President Hugo Chávez Frías tries to conceal about the reality of Venezuela, which have led to violence, poverty and insecurity. "It is a way to expose the reality that hits the Venezuelan people. President Chávez says that Venezuela is a wonderland without poverty, corruption and with a full-fledged democracy. In fact, the situation is almost as serious as what is happening in Iran."

Ledezma assessed the experience of Mayor Bloomberg, who explained to him "how he has managed to reduce the crime rate in New York by 17 percent (…) We also talked about the programs for garbage collection and disposal of New York," Ledezma said.
