Congress on special session to discuss proposed changes to the Constitution (El Universal) - "During a special session of the joint taskforce that explores the changes to the Constitution prompted by President Hugo Chávez, National Assembly chair Cilia Flores said that 'the majority will make a decision' as to approve or balk at the changes.
'Under democracy, we, the majority, are the decision. And the final word will be said in the referendum. This proceeding is contained in the Constitution, inspired by Bolívar's thinking,' she said during the session held in southern Bolívar state (.)
At the end of the session, the MP reported that next week more than 30 sectors are expected to take the floor and give their feedback.
