| Sumario: | During 1999, Hugo Chávez president of Venezuela, carried out some actions that make illegitimate his current government. Author points out that Chávez used referendum to approved two unconstitutional laws, (Edict No. 3 and Electoral Rules), in order to prepare the ground to a National Constitutional Assembly. In Rule Two of the Electoral Rules vote was restricted to take advantage in elections using the electoral strategy known as "Kinos". The result was an electoral fraud and the election of a National Constitutional Assembly lacking of legitimacy. In conclusion, if the National Constitutional Assembly and the 1999 Constitution lacked of origin legitimacy, the second government of Hugo Chávez is illegitimate. |
