On November 23, 2007 and just nine days before Referendum day, the Venezuelan High Tribunal rejected a constitutional appeal submitted by opposition students.  On 7 November 2007, opposition students challenged the celebration of the Referendum legally. Their televised argumentations were not assertive but legally faulty. Nevertheless, the subsequent violent events that followed their visit to the High Tribunal overshadowed that fact. Only few days ago, they changed their political tactics. Instead of rejecting the referendum, they decided to call on voters to participate. Political statistics made by Datanalisis show a significant gain of the no option. They currently state that no vote stand at 12 to 16 points higher than the yes vote.   Therefore, it made sense to convince indecisive voters to turnout instead of staying home on Referendum Day, that is, 2nd December 2007. On the other hand. President Chavez is convinced his proposal for a draft constitution will win. Today he asked his followers to make the extra mile before voting day. According to Telesur, more than two thousand observers will supervise the Referendum

More news to come.
