The chief of the Venezuelan regime, Nicolas Maduro, announced a reform of the constitution aimed at consolidating his power, after a month of his inauguration for a third term.

Maduro installed a committee for revising the Constitution, composed of his own wife, Cilia Flores and whose presidency was entrusted to his trusted man, the attorney general of the State, Tarek William Saab.

Maduro has already announced that the next constitutional text will be made up of 80 articles and will establish a new “municipal power”, which will be added to the three existing levels of power: national, regional and municipal.

The constitution that Maduro intends to reform is that promoted by his predecessor, the deceased Hugo Chavez in 1999, which, at the time, already allowed an indefinite presidential re -election.

According to Maduro, the current reform should be ready within 90 days, before submitting it to the legislative assembly which is fully acquired to it.

The reform project also provides more severe sanctions for any “threat” against the government. “Venezuela will not tolerate any fascist threat,” said Maduro, referring to the opposition led by Maria Corina Machado, undisputed opposition leader and black beast of the regime.

This reform is announced while no evidence of its victory in the last presidential elections has been provided so far.

Several countries in the South American region and moreover in the world do not recognize the legitimacy of its election and demand that the minutes of the polling stations be published.
