“We want a recall referendum (…) so that there is social peace, so that there is institutional trust and so that there is illusion, hope in the future on the part of Venezuelans,” Chitty La Roche told reporters at the headquarters of the National Council Electoral (CNE).

The Venezuelan Constitution establishes in its article 72 that all positions of popular election are revocable after half of the period for which they were elected, but to activate the mechanism the endorsement of “a number not less than 20% of the voters” is required. ”.

Maduro was elected in presidential elections held in May 2018 and was sworn in for his second term (2019-2025) before the former National Constituent Assembly on the 24th of that same month, but he also did so again on January 10, 2019 before the Supreme Court. of Justice (TSJ).

The Venezuelan magna carta establishes that the President must take the oath on January 10 of the year in which his term of office begins, but before Parliament.

Maduro did not swear before Parliament due to an alleged “disrespect” of the Legislative entity to the TSJ.

In this sense, the Mover spokesperson explained that they have presented to the CNE “a citizen claim” since they are still waiting “for the calendar to be presented to initiate the mechanisms, the protocol, which leads to the activation of the recall referendum.”
