I remember the anticipation I felt when you Venezuelans had to vote on the referendum last year. That he attempted to constitutionally establish himself as a de facto dictator must have been a frightening prospect for you.

Dictators dont get beat in elections.

 

 

That is why I said he attempted to constitutionally establish himself as a de facto dictator. I think it is obvious that his constitutional referendum was an attempt to consolidate and prolong his power. He attempted to do it with through the will of the people, but they responded with a resounding no. I do give him credit, however, as he gracefully accepted defeat; this was somewhat of a surprise to me.
