Chavez' Ex-Wife Proposes Reducing Term

Edited on Fri Dec-07-07 12:14 PM by LoZoccolo

BARQUISIMETO, Venezuela (AP) — Hugo Chavez's ex-wife said Thursday she is proposing a constitutional amendment to shorten presidential terms, saying the president has been in office long enough.

Chavez — a close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro — dismissed his opponents' win as insignificant on Wednesday, using a derogatory term for feces.

"He's been using that language for some time. I think it's a lack of respect for Venezuelans," Rodriguez said.

1. An ex-wife's perspective. I wouldn't be surprised

if there isn't something else she'd like to cut short.
