Students from different Caracas-based private universities, including Andrés Bello Catholic University (UCAB), the Metropolitan University and Santa María University (USM) decided to block Francisco Fajardo highway, the main Caracas highway, to reject a proposed constitutional amendment.

Early on Wednesday a group of UCAB students began the protests by distributing leaflets and displaying banners to reject a proposed constitutional amendment to establish endless reelection for all elected incumbencies in Caracas.

The demonstrators closed the gate of the university and later rallied in the street to rebut the draft amendment, which the National Assembly is addressing in a second discussion on Wednesday.
