President Hugo Chávez claimed that the United States is conducting a "dictatorship" in the United Nations, and urged his new ambassador to the international organization, Francisco Arias Cárdenas, to fight such unfair regime.

Chávez forecast that in the short term the world would contend US hegemony in the international arena.

Chávez' remarks came late Tuesday, when he swore in Arias Cárdenas, the Venezuelan ambassador to Bolivia Julio Montes and the Communication and Information minister William Lara.

The Venezuelan ruler added that any country purporting to embrace a process of transformation should oppose Washington. He accused US officials of plotting to provoke political turmoil in Venezuela in order to disturb December 3rd presidential election.

"Very soon, we the peoples, the nations are to break this schema that has been imposed in the United Nations. In this way, nations will be truly free, and the dictatorship against most nations and the world will be overthrown," Chávez said as quoted by AP.
