New Venezuelan flags are on sale outside national assembly building in Caracas
New Venezuelan flags with eight stars are on sale outside the national assembly building in Caracas March 9, 2006. Venezuela's Congress, dominated by allies of socialist President Hugo Chavez, has approved a revamp of the national coat of arms to ensure its white horse gallops left instead of right. Dismissed by critics as a whim by the former army officer the approved changes to the official yellow, red and the blue flag also add an eighth star sought by Chavez as a tribute to South American liberation hero Simon Bolivar.
