Chavez plans changes to
Venezuela's regional
government
Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez said Sunday
that his constitutional
reform proposals will
include changes to how
the country is governed
regionally.
"I am working letter by
letter on all the
proposals that I have
received, of which the
most important issue is
Venezuela's territorial
organization, (and) that
I will present soon to
Venezuela's National
Assembly," Chavez said.
Chavez described the
proposals he had
submitted personally as
a "new geometry of
power," during his
regular Sunday broadcast
"Hello, President,"
which runs from 11:30 in
the morning until 5:00
in the afternoon.
Chavez said the Orinoco
Oil Strip, extending
through many states in
Venezuela, could become
a new federal area,
which would be governed
directly by a vice
president.
Chavez said such changes
in certain regions,
including border areas,
will strengthen economic
development.
Chavez asked Venezuelans
to support his "humble
proposals" for
constitutional reform.
