The NO vote of December 2nd, 2007 means that when a constitutional reform initiative is rejected in a referendum, it can not be presented again to the National Assembly during the same constitutional period.

That is, Hugo Chavez can NOT use a collection of signatures to present again part or the whole of the proposal we just rejected on December the 2nd of 2007 and chavists will have to wait for the next presidential period, with Chavez out of Miraflores.

(Artículo 345 de la Constitución: La iniciativa de reforma constitucional que no sea aprobada, no podrá presentarse de nuevo en un mismo período constitucional a la Asamblea Nacional…)
