128. OK, it is PRIMARILY the 5% former oligarchs and the industries they
control and some of the middle-class (the wannabe rich) - the REAL opposition numbers are 35-40%, as evidenced by the recent elections. Much like the Republicans, here, except there they attempt coups and here we merely have fraudulent elections.

And if some of the students are worried about him asking to remove term limits from the constitution, that does NOT make them opposition. They denied him that change, but still support his presidency. When his term ends, he will step down, as opposed to when his term ends he will run again and face the possibility of being beaten. It wasn't because of HIM specifically, but because they were worried about the precedent. You don't know who might come to power AFTER him.
