Venezuela's opposition protests ending term limits
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Caracas on Saturday to oppose a constitutional amendment that could allow President Hugo Chavez to run for re-election indefinitely.
Marchers waved the nation's flag and peered through glasses framed by the word "No" to encourage people to vote against ending term limits for all elected officials in a Feb. 15 referendum backed by Venezuela's socialist leader.
"Everything's gotten worse," said Yraiber Davila, a 24-year-old mechanical engineer who complained of rampant crime, a lack of government services and the difficulty of buying a house with annual inflation running at 31 percent in Caracas.
"I have a 10-year-old daughter and she's never seen another president," Davila said.
One protester carried a sign depicting Chavez as TV tough-guy Mr. T - complete with a Mohawk hairstyle and long, feathery earrings - beneath the phrase: "Indefinite Aggression."
