Morning Star.png Venezuelan Recall Vote ‘Won’t Happen Until 2017’ - Maduro If at all The Morning Star, London, 13 June 2016 President Nicolas Maduro told his rightwing opponents at the weekend that a presidential recall referendum could happen in 2017 at the earliest. “There will be no blackmailing here. If the recall referendum’s requirements are met, it will be next year and that’s it,” he declared. “If the requirements aren’t met, there will be no referendum.” The National Electoral Council announced on Friday that it would begin a process of validating the signatures of citizens seeking a referendum. It declared more than 600,000 signatures on a petition for the referendum invalid. The pro-imperialist opposition wants a referendum this year, threatening that “public anger” could spill over unless it gets its way. If a referendum is held by January 10 2017 and President Maduro loses, a new election will be called. A successful recall vote after that date, however, would see his vice-president [Aristóbulo Istúriz] taking over and remaining in office until the end of the presidential term in January 2019.
