Antonio Ledezma, the leader of opposition Alianza Bravo Pueblo (ABP), denounced Monday that the government intends to engage in propaganda in Venezuelan schools and criticized the obligatory simultaneous broadcast that President Hugo Chávez made to mark the beginning of the school year.

"The communist-like project reveals itself with the president's obligatory simultaneous broadcast, but not only with the broadcast today (Monday), but with the appearances and TV shows with activities that have been carried out in the context of this publicity campaign that intends to hide the true reasons for the structural changes to the Constitution, to which we oppose."
