President Chávez asks pro-government students to take the streets

Politics
"Do not let bourgeoisie's students take the streets," President Hugo Chávez recommended pro-government students and asked them to stage demonstrations similar to a march scheduled for Wednesday over the days ahead of the referendum on the amendment to the Constitution.

"Let us show all those petty Yankees that we can make the difference; let us show them where the strength of the youth and of Venezuelan students is," said the head of state.

Amidst cheers and chanting the slogan "Chávez is not leaving," the president made an appeal to lobby for the "Yes" vote during a march to be concomitantly held in several cities nationwide.

"Now you will see where the youth is; come in and look at them. Do you want to see young people? Do you want to see students? Do you want to feel the magic of youth? Well, young Venezuelans, come on, go to the streets. You are the owners of the future," Chávez added.
