Students reassert fight for political rights

Student leaders Stalin González and Freddy Guevara met Tuesday with Minister of the Interior Pedro Carreño and Libertador Municipality Mayor Freddy Bernal to refine the details of their march next November 7 from the campus of the Central University of Venezuela to the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ), downtown Caracas, to reject the changes to the Constitution proposed by President Hugo Chávez.

Following the meeting, they clarified they told the officials their goal is advocating their political rights.

"The only thing we are trying to do is exercising our political rights," González, a student at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), told reporters.

He insisted that the demonstrations the university students have staged have never been violent.

Meanwhile, Freddy Guevara, a student leader at the Andrés Bello Catholic University, said they asked the Ministry of the Interior and Justice to ensure that people planning to disturb their demonstration will be allowed in their rallies.

He clarified they have no intention to encourage a coup d'etat, but to make the Venezuelan people know the proposed reform.
