CARACAS, Wednesday November 07, 2007 | Update
A small group of students Wednesday was allowed to enter the
Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ) following a march to reject
the changes to the Constitution proposed by Venezuelan President
Hugo Chávez.
The committee comprises student leaders Yon Goicoechea and
Stalin González, among others.
Goicoechea told reporters they are filing an action requesting
the suspension of the referendum on such constitutional reform,
claiming that the Venezuelan population was not given enough
time to assess the proposed changes.
Goicoechea added they believed the draft reform violates freedom
of speech.
04:17 PM. Western Hemisphere. "Damned empire; I curse you one thousand times; some day you will be finished off and wrecked. I curse you one thousand times, empire." This is the least that President Hugo Chávez has uttered to refer to the US government. 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."
