예전에 에너지 국유화, 외국계 기업 퇴출 등 엄청난 행보를 보이며 거침없던 차베스씨를 보면서 재밌다고 생각했는데(남의 나라니까 ㅋㅋ) 요번에 대통령 제대로 해 먹으려고 개헌 시도 했다가 물 먹었다. 근데 반대 51%대 찬성 49% -_- 장난 아니네..

Chavez defeated over reform vote

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has narrowly lost a referendum on controversial constitutional changes.

Voters rejected the raft of reforms by a margin of 51% to 49%, the chief of the National Electoral Council said.

Mr Chavez described the defeat as a "photo finish", and urged followers not to turn it into a point of conflict.

Correspondents say the opposition could barely hide their delight and that the victory will put a brake on Mr Chavez's self-styled "Socialist revolution".

Celebrations by the opposition began almost immediately in the capital, Caracas, with activists cheering, beeping car horns and waving flags.

"Venezuela won today, democracy won today, and I am sure that this victory for the Venezuelan people will have a very important impact in the rest of Latin America," Leopoldo Lopez, opposition mayor of Caracas' Chaqua municipality, told the BBC.
