Venezuela Amendment 2009. New proposal of indefinite reelection for all popular elected offices is a worse mistake

Chavez is concerned because Venezuelans do not want to accompany him in this new race for his indefinite reelection. That is why the current President of Venezuela has changed the proposed constitutional amendment announced at the beginning, and now proposes to allow indefinite reelection for all popular elected offices in Venezuela. With this movement, Chavez is trying to create an incentive for governors, mayors and deputies -interested only in power- to help him harm the Constitution.

But the new amendment multiplies the error of the original proposal. A country infested with national and regional lifetime authorities is more vicious than a country with a national lifetime authority only. So, if Venezuelans were disappointed with the original amendment, our rejection of the modified amendment should be more pronounced.
