Students and the political system: fire works ahead !!!!

posted on Dec 03, 2008 03:46PM

The worst factor that could be happening for Chavez here in Venezuela is the combined forces of the political opposition and the hard core students taking to the roads;

together they are a force to reckon with.

In any manifestation anywhere in the world the students are very hard to keep at bay and i have seen in many occasion bringing down governments or politicians .

They are driven by liberalism and fanatical conscience because their minds are not polluted by compromise and adjustments of every day life.

The idealistic socialism for the masses is not the same that Chavez is looking for and that is why this article below is spelling big time trouble for him.

Politics
Venezuelan students, as well as political parties, have assumed that President Hugo Chávez will achieve his goal to amend the Constitution in order to implement indefinite presidential reelection. Even though the proposal is unconstitutional, both students and political organizations agree that they must get to work immediately and launch an information campaign and street demonstrations for people to reassert the opinion they expressed on December 2, 2007, when Venezuelans rejected Chávez's proposed changes to the Constitution.

"We should not fall into the trap of pointless discussions. We cannot lose time since we need time to organize. We just have three months left (until the referendum on the constitutional amendment). Let's stand firm and vote. I trust in the feelings of the Venezuelan people," said Yon Goicoechea, leader of the pro-democracy student movement in Venezuela.

"We already took a decision: the Venezuelan people reject indefinite mandates. That's the reason why I feel we can win. We are going to win again. We have to be aware that in this new election we will have to ratify what we have already said," he added.
