The assembly of the bench official, after a little over two weeks hosted nearly three hundred articles, have celebrated noisily hit the approval of the texts of the draft new constitution. This would not have been possible if previously, this political clique that makes the real decisions in the country, had not ordered the departure of former head of the assembly that, at least, was tending to keep up appearances so that there is a glimmer of 'debate democratic '.

In the end, as expected, and as both were announced, is ready to be put to referendum a legal text-made and need of the political project that is underway, which materialized with the help and collaboration of vast sectors opinion that naively believed that the necessary changes demanded that the country could come by way of institutional abuse. The final product is there and removing the litter that still seduces unwary, is in the process to take total power for a long time, with the aim to influence key institutions even in the event that there were a change of government.

[just as I though - ebear]

Thus, if the people supported the proposal officially be designated a Constitutional Court with the power to review decisions of the justice, whose members remain in office for three periods and government would be elected 'by this one-time' in a direct way existing powers. Another court pocket, if we judge by what happened with others whose members have been appointed in this presidential year. Not only that, a confusing transitional provision would give way to reorganize the judiciary with identical purpose. The much-fought now is about to be consummated, reissued this ancient practice policy which prevents strong and independent institutions exist away from any outside influence their actions.

Instead of strengthening the agencies sectional, in practice, if approved this new Constitution the central government will again omnipotent. In this logic that the authorities sectional commune with the regime breathe a sigh of relief, while those of other political tendency, will difficulties. Hence, now is rumored interest of both political spearhead the official lists.

In reaching this project to become Constitution, achieved what they sought from the outset: the absolute power. This would be possible because the tax coffers are full of resources, enough to afford paid shares in favor of the popularity of the scheme. In this scenario configured, the desired change through consensus and without the expense of civil liberties is still pending.
