University students Tuesday started marching from the campus of the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), northeast Caracas, to the headquarters of the National Assembly, downtown Caracas, where are delivering to the Congress Chair Cilia Flores a document asking for adjournment until February of the referendum on the changes to the Constitution.

Student leader Stalin González said they are asking lawmakers to reschedule the referendum for February 3, 2008, rather than next December 2. In this way, he claimed, all Venezuelans will have more time to get information about the contents of all the changes being introduced to the Constitution.

In González's view, the constitutional reform is a subject matter that should be discussed by all Venezuelans, rather than a group of deputies.

He confirmed the university student movement is willing to debate with pro-government students the situation facing Venezuela and the constitutional reform.
