Dictatorship priority is to maintain power

The opposition is wrong in their definition of the goals of dictatorships and there being no succession method. First, the goal of the dictatorships stated by proposition where based on the first definition, aiming to the achievement of development as well as the guaranteeing of Social. Therefore, even though the dictator maintains its power, having or not elections is not relevant, and even more incongruous with the argument. As we must all know dictatorial governments such as Cuba [[http://www.iammyownreporter.com/ElectionsInCuba.htm]], China, North Korea [[http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gimZEj8zI99uCXzdaCqn_FoKT97A]], Myanmar [[http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/story.html?id=da3ecc3a-3ba0-4426-875c-a888705e9eed]], among others, have held, are holding and continue to hold elections and referendums for the popular opinion on constitutionals changes, but taking into account the budgets, so no income for education, health, security or personal development be modified. On the other hand, the opposition states there are no successions in dictatorial governments but here we may see the different cases of North Korea between Kim Il-Sung and Kim Yong-Il [[http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=1012277]], another case we may quote is Cuba and the succession from Fidel Castro to Raul Castro without any drop of blood shedded [[http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:-fnkjcbSlG8J:fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RS22742.pdf+cuba+succession&hl=es&gl=ve]]. Regarding the argument “some dictators changing the constitution to extend their term in office”, it's completely out the question. In the case quoted (Venezuela), the president and the government do no represent a dictatorial regime but a Social State form of government as it’s stated in the Article 2, Title 1 of the Fundamental Principles of the Constitution [[http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:KzLaCoLsk1sJ:www.analitica.com/bitblioteca/venezuela/constitucion_ingles.pdf+venezuelan+constitution&cd=2&hl=es&ct=clnk&gl=ve]]. Having said that, we must make clear the fact that President Hugo Chavez came into power by elections, and since his 10 years of mandate there have been 15 electoral processes (1998 presidential elections; 2000 general elections; 2006 presidential elections; 1998 parliamentary elections; 2000 parliamentary elections; 2005 parliamentary elections; 1998, 2000, 2004 and 2008 regional elections, referendum for the debate of a new constitution 1999; for the approval of the new constitution 1999; for the labor unions in 2000; for the president in 2004; for the constitutional reform in 2007; for the constitutional amendment; and in the next November for the regional elections) , which is a contradiction because they both call the Venezuelan government dictatorial but then establish that dictatorial regimes don’t have elections. Now, moving on the following statements, the opposition says that “no matter whatever emergency the state endures” dictatorial governments look for their security first and puts as a last priority the achievement of development and the financial situation of a country, which is kind of paradoxical in the terms of what comes first to do the next, for example (based on whatever emergency the state endures): in a natural disaster (a hurricane, typhoon, tornado, floods, etc) what profit or benefit could any country gain by having a government that does not secures itself so then they can then act as holders of the maximum power to defend, protect their citizens by implementing an appropriate national security plan? None, if a country doesn't have a government that secures itself, it has no one to hold the power, no one to create and execute the laws (as defined in the first part of the debate) therefore it will be an absence of a government, causing the country to go into Anarchy (absence of government; absence of political authority) [[Diccionario de Ciencias Jurídicas Políticas y Sociales.
