“CARACAS - Venezuela’s president raised a new national flag Sunday with changes that he said pay tribute to the independence hero Simón Bolí­var, drawing criticism from opponents who called it an egotistical political stunt.

The flag proposed by President Hugo Chávez features a white horse galloping left instead of right, an additional star, a bow and arrow representing Venezuela’s indigenous people and a machete to represent the labor of workers, among other changes.”
