Olid opinion...

Venezuelan President and Dictator-Elect Hugo Chavez always has something to say; sometimes it's even amusing: now he seems to think that the people should be happy,

"Ten years is nothing... ...I don't know what they're complaining about."

Meanwhile, Luis Herrero, the Spanish Member of the European Parliament who was expelled from Venezuela on Friday, said that he regrets "absolutely nothing" about what he said in Caracas, basically he was alluding to don Hugo as a dictator (and why not?)..."vote in freedom and not for fear, as a dictator is trying to spread." [sic]

More to follow...as results become known.

Hugo Chávez gana el referéndum sobre su perpetuación en el poder. No need to translate that I suppose...gana means he won.
