Chavez seeks more support

Venezuela\'s president Hugo Chavez is seeking more support for an upcoming referendum to allow him the right to stand for indefinite re-election.



Venezuelans are scheduled to go to the polls within two weeks.



But opposition groups are still against the measure.



They said the government has become increasingly autocratic.



The opposition groups are also accusing Mr Chavez of failing to deal with the sharp rise in violent crime as well as to tackle the country’s rampant inflation.



Chavez has already lost one vote on the referendum in the recent past, but he said he’s confident of winning this time.
