Government opponents protest in Venezuela

About 3,000 opponents of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez marched through the capital on Saturday to protest a package of laws that expand his power and accelerate his push toward socialism.

Shouting chants and waving balloons reading 'play fair,' they complained that some of the laws resemble constitutional reforms sought by Chavez that voters rejected at the polls in December.

'We said no,' university student Mariangel Rodriguez said. Chavez 'says he's a democrat. I don't know what his concept of democracy is, but to me, this is not democracy.'
