(El Universal) - 'Any country is entitled to amend laws,' said the Director General for Foreign Policy of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Rafael Dezcallar, in reference to a constitutional reform championed by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

This right can be effective based on the relevant legal procedures, noted the official during a course sponsored by Madrid's Universidad Complutense in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located in the Spanish capital city, Efe quoted.

Chávez plans to submit soon to the National Assembly (AN) a draft constitutional reform that provides for unlimited presidential reelection. The opposition has labeled the attempt as fascist. (.)".
