Chavez and The Constituent Assembly

During his 15 years in power, Hugo Chavez called 14 elections and won 13 of them.

"We need to remember that during the 4th republic constitutions were written and amendments were made to them without consulting the people. Today in Venezuela if you wanna change a comma, a period, a single letter from our Bolivarian constitution, no person can do it, the only one who can do it is the Venezuelan people through a national referendum" he said.

Venezuelans will head to the polls on Sunday, July 30, to elect representatives for the National Constituent Assembly.
