Parliamentarian suggests media situation will be reconsidered in 2007

Parliamentarian and constitutional lawyer Carlos Escarrá Thursday said many things "in connection with the social communication media" would be reviewed in 2007, but not with a goal to "restrict freedom of speech, but to review things."

In an interview with official TV channel VTV, he hinted that the broadcasting license to private TV network RCTV would be reviewed. He added one of the proposals that have been made in this connection is giving management of RCTV to cooperatives or universities with journalism schools.

As to the intended constitutional reform, he invited the opposition to join discussions and take a "responsible" stance.

In urging the Bolivarian Armed Forces to prepare for war, he said that a US raid on Venezuela through Colombia would trigger and spread over the region "the 100-year war."
