Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro has called for a review of relations between his country and Spain after the Spanish prime minister met with jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez's wife in Madrid.

Maduro chastised the Spanish government's intervention, calling it a damaging act for relations between the two nations.

"I have ordered the foreign minister (Rafael) Ramirez to review all relations with Spain due to this unfriendly and meddling act of support to the ultra-right groups who exercise violence in Venezuela," said Venezuela's socialist president on state television, according to Reuters.

"He thinks he's a king, the owner of the Americas ... You respect Venezuela, Mr. Rajoy, as we respect the Spanish people ... You are creating a disaster in Spain."

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy met with Lilian Tintori, Lopez's wife, on Wednesday, according to EFE. The two met at the ruling conservative Popular Party's headquarters in Madrid where they discussed Lopez's imprisonment by the Maduro government. A Popular Party statement explained Rajoy had concerns over due process concerning Lopez and adding that freedom of expression and peaceful protests should be respected in Venezuela.

The opposition leader was jailed in Feb. 18 for fomenting violence during the peak of student protests against the Maduro government. He is currently awaiting trial.

"There is exploiting Prime Minister Rajoy meddling in the internal affairs of Venezuela, when he simply has no moral standing to talk about Bolivarian Venezuela," Maduro said Friday. "Don't meddle in my fatherland, Rajoy. Venezuela must be respected, you hear?"

According to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Rafael Ramirez called the meeting between Tintori and Rajoy "irresponsible and disrespectful."

Lopez is currently being held in a military prison outside Caracas until his next court appearance. The Spanish government has not been the only ones to express concern over Lopez's incarceration. The United Nations has called for his release. However, the Venezuelan legislature has opted not to pardon the imprisoned opposition leader.
