Chris Cantell Discusses World News: Zmeny v ustave vyvovali nepokoje vo Venezuele

Venezuelski studenti protestovali v uliciach Caracasu vo stvrtok 11.01.2007 proti politike prezidenta Chaveza. Podla agentury Reuters demonstracie boli potlacene Chavezovymi policajnymi silami za pomoci slzneho plynu, gumennych striel a vodnych diel. Niektori ucastnoci protestov boli vzati do vazby; medzinarodni pozorovatelia dodrziavania ludskych prav pozorne sleduju celu sitauciu.Zda sa, ze Hugo Chavez, ktory je prezidentom Venezuely od roku 1999, a je znamy pre svoje socialne orientovane bolivarijske misie, pre svoj ciel vybudovat vo Venezuele fungujuci demokraticky socializmus, ako i pre svoje priatelstvo s kubanskym lidrom Fidelom Castrom, sa priblizuje svojim konanim skor k autoritativnej vlade, uviedli protestujuci studenti. Narodne zhromazdenie (kde ma Chavez vacsinovu podporu) sa chysta prijat 69 dodatkov k venezuelskej ustave, ktore by, okrem ineho, umoznili prezidentovi odstranit obmedzenie funkcneho obdobia, ako i ohrozit nezavislost centralnej banky. Tieto zmeny budu predmetom referenda, ktore sa uskutocni v decembri.Protestujuci studenti uvadzaju, ze dodatky predstavuju hrozbu pre demokraticke principy; na druhej strane, Chavez tvrdi, ze zmeny su nevyhnutne na to, aby mohol efektivne pokracovat v reformach."Zahravame sa s buducnostou nasej krajiny," uviedol Luis Rodriguez, student prava na Universidad Central de Venezuela vo svojom komentari pre kablovu televiznu stanicu.
