Following his slightly tense remark to Condoleeza Rice, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has made another quite shocking statement this past Sunday during his weekly TV show. He announced the possiblity of calling for a referendum, which would allow him the ability to run for reelection in 2012 elections. Under the current constitution of Venezuela, Chavez is barred from running in the election of 2012. Chavez stated that the people would decide on the issue as such.
"If there is no opposition candidate, I would consider signing a decree to hold a referendum asking 'Do you agree Chavez should be allowed to seek a new term?' and let's let the people decide."
