Venezuelan Marches in Favor and Against Chavez

Caracas - Supporters and detractors of the process headed by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will be demonstrating Saturday, with authorities asking to do so peacefully.

From Teheran, Iran, Chavez has repeatedly called upon opposition sectors to hold peaceful marches. "Everybody knows the times of repression, murder, and persecution were the times of the IV Republic (1958-1998)", he stressed.

He also asked supporters of his process to demonstrate, because the street belongs to the Revolution, not the bourgeoisie, he said.

Meanwhile, Caracas' Mayor Jorge Rodriguez stated the Interior and Justice Ministry will watch over the people's safety.

Rodriguez encouraged the population to march peacefully, and avoid violent acts like those carried out by the opposition in the last demonstration.
