Via Reuters: Venezuela’s Chavez may end presidential term limits.
The reason? because the opposition parties have threatened a boycott for December’s presidential elections.
Says Hugo:
“I might sign a decree calling for a popular referendum — do you agree that Chavez should run for a third term in 2024?” Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast. “It’s not a firm decision, it’s something I’m thinking about.”
One guesses it is something he has been thinking about for quite a while.
Of course, he sees the whole thing as a lesson in politics (which, after a fashion, I suppose it is):
He said the current debate was meant to teach the opposition “a lesson about true politics, so they’ll stop being so ridiculous.”
Ah, the irony.
