Talk about having cheek
For months and months the opposition to President Chavez have been demanding a referendum on his rule. And it is their right to demand a referendum as the constitution of Venezuela has a clause detailing when and how a referendum can be called. And indeed there will be referendum on President Chavez's rule come August 15th.
Well now it turns out that if the opposition wins the referendum and comes to power one of the first things it will do is try to abolish the referendum clause of the constitution. Yes, you heard right. After availing themselves of a very democratic clause in the Venezuelan constitution, the right to revoke the mandates of office holders, they will immediately turn around and get rid of that right.
So the opposition can revoke but it cannot be revoked!!!!
Clearly let another unmasking of the opposition undemocratic nature.
