| Description | Opposition parties in Venezuela have formally rejected a plan by President Hugo Chavez to seek to stay in office as long as he keeps winning elections.
In a joint statement, the opposition said: "Fourteen years are sufficient."
Mr Chavez, marking 10 years since his first election as president, is seeking reforms that would let him stand again when his latest term ends in 2012.
Last year, he lost a referendum on the issue and opposition parties say it cannot be voted on again. |
