Venezuela Gears for Amendment
Caracas - President Hugo Chavez' supporters will begin Wednesday
what they have called the fifth round for support of the
constitutional amendment that proposes constant reelection of public
offices.
The initiative includes putting an end to the term of offices
established in the Magna Carta for the President of the Republic,
deputies, mayors, regional legislators and governors.
Nearly 17 million registered Venezuelans will vote for the Yes or No
on February 15, while latter option has lost supporters according to
the last poll published, including right-wing sectors.
In his recent article the Head of Government called this new stage a
Double Armored Attack that consists of revitalizing and deploying
its supporters through the over 100,000 committees for YES created
all over the country.
This drive is opposed to the opposition efforts that in the last few
weeks began to show signs of desperation with violent actions and
planned destabilization.
The Head of State considered those events are part of the so-called
Puerto Rico Pact where Venezuelan opposition leaders joined
government officials of President George W. Bush. |
