Last week, the National Assembly approved new referendum rules speeding up the process of requesting recall referendums, presenting it to the National Electoral Council.
Venezuela’s Supreme Court has once again rejected a bid by the country’s opposition to bring President Nicolás Maduro’s six-year term in office to an early end.
The opposition is accusing the National Electoral Council of dragging its feet over the referendum.
A simple 50% majority is enough to pass motions in the National Assembly.
This is the latest bid by the opposition MUD grouping to remove Maduro from office since it won control of the National Assembly in December’s legislative elections, after taking 112 of its 164 seats.
