The Devil's Excrement: "Tuesday, January 13, 2009
This is the referendum question...
And this will be the rather obtuse question that Venezuelans will vote in the upcoming referendum:
Do you approve of the widening of the political rights of Venezuelans in the terms contemplated in the amendment to articles 230, 160, 174, 192 and 162 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, processed by the National Assembly, which allows people to run for all positions of popular election in such a way that their election will be the exclusive expression of the vote of the people?
which is a loose translation of:
¿Aprueba usted la ampliacion de los derechos politicos de las venezolanas y los venezolanos en los terminos contemplados en la enmienda de los articulos 230, 160, 174, 192 y 162 de la Constitucion de la Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela, tramitada por la Asamblea Nacional, al permitirse la postulacion para todos los cargos de eleccion popular de modo que su eleccion sea expresion exclusiva del voto del pueblo?"
