Venezuelan amending includes application for all positions

writer, journalist and former editor of French newspaper Le Monde Diplomatique, Ignacio Ramonet, said international media channels linked to the wealthiest in the world, are realizing the proposed constitutional amendment in Venezuela so this is seen as a benefit only to the fact that President Hugo Chávez Frías, not all officials elected by popular vote .
"As always, we are transforming the political debate in Venezuela and they are presenting half-truth telling. They say that this proposal applies to all elected by the vote, only talk about Chavez. They say that people may not have the power to choose their leaders as often as they deem necessary, "he said.
This was part of the statements offered Ramonet Venezuelan media, while attending the World Social Forum (WSF ), an event that is celebrated from Tuesday in Belem, Brazil, and runs through Sunday.
By way of contrast, the English intellectual recalled that recently the American newspaper The New York Times said in its editorial that "term limits rulers, when these were effective, it was against democracy "and raised" the need to think about extending these mandates. "
The proposed constitutional amendment to be submitted Ramonet referred to the verdict of all Venezuelans coming February 15 .
It is aimed at the continuous application of all officials elected by popular vote: Regional Representatives (Art. 162) and national (Art. 192), mayors (Art. 174), governors (Art. 160) and chair or President of the Republic (Art. 230).
The initiative in question is a normal practice in many European countries and the world are proud of its democratic nature, which is not mentioned by any media or government opponents of the Venezuelan case.
The ruling English Socialist Party (PSOE) Felipe Gonzalez, for instance, was president of government between 1982 and 1996 (14 years), thanks to the continuous application option exercised in that country.
The Egyptian President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak, and Cameroon, Paul Biya, embody the highest leadership in their countries since 1981 and 1982, respectively, to date, without the Department of State United States has never discussed anything about it Amen normal bilateral relations that both support the American nation.
