Referendum results

As of today, december 3rd, due to the people´s support to the current constitution, voting NO against the constitutional reform submited by the President, private property will continue to be protected as an individual right, presidential re-election will be limited to two terms, and the current geo political division will stay in place, among other things. All in all, I think these results confirm the will of a majority to keep in a higher place existing individual rights over vaguely defined social, (meaning State) rights, as they stand in the current constitution and thus provide more certainty to current and potential investors, residents and citizens alike. Also it shows that very many venezuelans do not support or accept the imposition of self-centered and arbitrary political projects. At the same time many people want more dialogue between government and opposition, left and right, capitalism and socialism, as well as their opinions, feelings and ideas to be represented, considered and respected at the governmental level. Let us hope that the first defeat of the Chavismo, will serve to generate more reflection on their side and a will to approach to all those that have made their voice heard.
