* John Martorano.
This time, we will conduct an analysis of the proposed reform of Article 230 of the Constitution, referring to the so-called presidential term and continuous re-election.
The said article reads verbatim as follows: "The presidential term is six years. The President of the Republic may be re-elected immediately and once only, for a new period."
In reform proposal is put forward as follows: "The presidential term is seven years. The President of the Republic may be re-elected immediately for a new period. "
This has been one of the items with which the opposition has tried to focus the discussion of the Reformation, to try to argue and discredit the constitutional reform proposal. They noted that the proposed reform of this article goes against the principle of rotation indicated by the same constitution, which seeks to concentrate power in one person. Even have used this phrase, uttered by our Liberator Simon Bolivar, in his speech at Angostura, on February 15, 1819, which is thus: "Nothing is as dangerous as leaving one man in power for too long. The man accustomed to command and the people to obey ... "
This issue, we recognize that we play in the workshops we are giving in Bolivar State about the proposed reform, not because we are afraid to take that debate, but this is not the most important reform presented by the Head of State. The proposal is the recognition of the importance MNE People's Power, to the point that gives constitutional status, the Economic Model Building a more just, equitable and diversified, the Dignity of Working Conditions and the recognition of cultural diversity with which We in our country, and strengthen and consolidate the new state that we are building a social state of law and justice do not like that oppose the Bolivarian Project.
When considering that the presidential term is seven years, this reflects the strategic planning criteria, for a government, or rather, for a national project that policies promoted by the Venezuelan State, the State Social Law and Justice materialize, and if we are considering structural changes and really transform our reality, it takes time, this project which we called "21st Century Socialism", does not take or 3, 4, 5 or 12 years, a process that will take us at least 20 or 25 years.
That is what has to do with the period. Now as for re-election continued as such, we note the following: We, the citizens, the people, as the People and in exercise of our constitutional power, we need hist! Orica to amend this article in order to give continuity to the strategies that create structural changes in the country level.
Unlike the Fourth Republic where there was no national development strategy, this continuity between the reforms and / or proposals for a government simply did not exist (except to deliver increasing our strategic resources), and a short period time allowed him to "alternative" power elite factors that controlled the country. So
this historic moment in our country requires that the mandate of Hugo Chávez Frías, be extended until our country takes the form of social, ideological, political, economic, educational, military, etc.. we want.
Additionally, this article could badly undermine the rotation for the following reasons: Not a term limits because the article clearly states the duration of the mandate of the President, who would agree to the proposed reform, seven years, that by a party. Moreover, not necessarily the presentation of the President as a candidate for reelection, political rights which would be entitled Hugo Chávez and who in some distant future could replace it automatically keeps you in office, go to an election and the last word will have the people, the electorate, on the other hand, recall that the President of the Republic, to be popularly elected, half of the period for which you choose, and meeting the requirements of Article 72 of that Constitution, they could request to activate the recall referendum mandate.
The opposition does not indicate in his speech for example, that of the 27 countries comprising the European Union, the mechanism 17 is provided for continuous re-election, And yet do not have cataloged are authoritarian or dictatorial countries. No opposition says that for example, in Spain, we live under a regime of constitutional monarchy, where there is a Head of Government, which is elected every 4 years continuously, but there is a Head of State, who is the king and that if there is no limitation in office, can not be judged by the courts of Spain, the office is hereditary, and even the head of government should ask for certain specified matters. And not because it is said that in Spain there is dictatorship.
also pose the following: If the people who exercised sovereignty in our country if the powers that sovereignty emanates from popular and it is subjected, in accordance with that Article 5 of our Constitution who now defend these sectors, so bad we could curtail the right of people to maintain and continue a process of transformation and profound changes that are operating in country. Mal could we, under the trivial argument that after a President in accordance with the 230 currently governs 6 years and confirms its mandate for 6 years and that this mandate has contributed as we stated, the policies and strategies State to contribute to their overall development, the project simply can not have continuity, be a mediocrity, and condemn the people of Venezuela again mediocrity and the mortgage of the country, because four oligarchs so wish, leguleyo argument indeed.
The great evil of the Fourth Republic was that no country had a draft to the most humble service. The spokesmen of the Fourth Republic are the negation of the draft nationalist country that many want.
They drove a model of state capitalsmo January l, whore that nationalization of oil and other resources Iron according to them, it was not the screen to serve the interests of American empire and its plans to take away our resources and our country.
The great legacy of the Fourth Republic was the great amount of unfinished work! . When the government were adecos, dismounted and left unfinished works Copeyanos and vice versa, the product of political pettiness and misery and lack of a national vision, a vision of state.
Another major legacy of the Fourth Republic has to do with the divestiture of strategic areas in our country. There was no investment in the electricity sector, health, housing, education, transportation. And just this disaster it is solving the Bolivarian project.
The proposed amendment to this Article 230, rather than the perpetuation of a person in the Presidency of the Republic and that is why the sentence of Bolívar in Angostura speech, these widows have passed completely out of context, it is at this time to continue promoting unity, integration and comprehensive cooperation, trying to follow and continue to developing specific plans to correct asymmetries. Is to combat the loss of time, the failure of solving the problems of the people, the waste of resources, disorder and corruption, a scourge and disastrous inheritance of widows of puntofijismo.
Finally, and perhaps some good to! Friends, g Obern, mayors, deputies of the Legislative Councils, Councillors, parish councils, Members National Assembly, Members of the Andean and Latin American parliaments, might think why if is establishing a continuous re-election for President of the Republic, not to the other elected offices. The answer is not so simple, but if we express the following, even at that we demonize. The country, the Republic needs now a good deal centralized planning. It is totally false, that a municipal or regional project the country out of backwardness when adding or add the powers and functions of National Power. That's why not argue, at least for now, the continuous re-election in the other elected offices and I know that our staff understand that.
puntofijismo The widows have 5 years to build the alternative to our Draft country. In 5 years, they may have, rather than the candidate, the project or projects you want to defend, because their vision is myopic and segregationist. We, more than the candidate and leader, defend a single project and a single conception of the country for the future: Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution.
Well, we have been too extensive and better leave it here.
Socialist Fatherland or Death!
We won!!
