What could be considered as the last assault on the seizure of power will be generated as soon as the constitutional slop is approved that the illegal and illegitimate "constituent" is writing behind the backs of the people through who was a staunch anti-Chavez, and now turned into a maximum panegírico madurista, Hermann Escarrá, who is along with Diosdado Cabello and other three or four of those who make up the madurista hierarchy the only ones who know such an affectation with which they intend to finish taking over the country and our lives, although now Cabello himself says he could be through a "reform", which is nothing more than a way to lower tensions, because if so, it would be obvious that such a dependency madurista, was created with the purpose of liquidating unconstitutionally the National Assembly,and materialize the totalitarian state.

In fact, we said that this "constituent" would review the pre and postgraduate degrees of teachers and journalists, and that has been happening surreptitiously¹. It is not only that in the case of teachers their labor rights are unknown from the Ministry of Education, as well as the same dependency that regulates the university environment, when practically all were condemned to earn a minimum salary regardless of their academic degree, but in In the case of social communicators, the persecution has been implacable, to the point that (self) censorship is part of seeing the disappearance of programs that report in a truthful and timely manner, as established in the current Constitution.

So we have national universities such as the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), Simón Bolívar University (USB), Los Andes University (ULA), Universidad de Oriente (UDO), University of Carabobo (UC), Universidad del Zulia ( LUZ), Lisandro Alvarado West University (UCLA), National Open University (UNA) and Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador (UPEL) will all be eliminated in that "constitution" latrine that prepares madurismo. It is not only the elimination of university autonomy, but all of them, depending on their faculties in social sciences, will remain as redoubts of the Bolivarian University of Venezuela (UBV) as the only "national university".

Therefore, it is no accident that from an official news portal in Cuba announces the inauguration of the "Experimental University of Teaching" ², without even having a structure and logistics both curricular and academic, but that it only comes to "legalize" the postgraduate programs that will be taught and only recognized by the Ministry of Education, which, of course, will only be studied in the same schools and lyceums, that is, the fourth and fifth level studies will not be endorsed by this institutional dependency. Dictated by national universities in the case of the education career. In others, words, both the UPEL and the chairs of education of the rest of the universities would be assassinated with the creation of that training mamotret of the new."

Chavismo is unilaterally undertaking a "re-writing" of the Venezuela Constitution. (Chavez' previously re-written Venezuelan constitution in 1999) Where before the people voted on the desire for a new Constitution, Maduro and his ilk decided they didn't need to ask the people** if they wanted a new and improved "Chavista Friendly" Constitution that gives them the same awesome rights that the Castroists have in Cuba. Which is handy, since the Cubans are basically writing the Constitution for them.

No longer will student be taught anything that isn't Chavista approved, and every school will provide a proper historical perspective of the struggle that is Bolivarian Socialism and the heroes of such struggle. Which, shouldn't be too difficult since hardly any child attends school, and the universities are empty. (lack of teachers, students too busy digging through garbage to find a meal)

**Maduro did ask the people to go and vote if they wanted a referendum. It was rigged from the beginning, and the question wasn't yes or no... just "yes". Even the people who made the machines (Smartmatic) claimed fraud. Maduro claimed MILLION demanded a new Constitution. But, Maduro claims all sorts of nonsense.
