VENEZUELA: PSUV LOSES BARINAS TO OPPOSITION IN ELECTION RE-RUN

Barinas residents were forced to take to the polls again after the November 21 results were annulled by the TSJ nine days later. According to the ruling, Democratic Unity Roundtable’s (MUD) Freddy Superlano ̶ who was leading incumbent PSUV governor Argenis Chávez by 0.4% at the time ̶ had been barred from holding public office by the ombudsman in August 2020. The cause of the disqualification was not made public and electoral authorities claimed to not be aware of the measure.

Unofficial estimates indicate that both Garrido and Arreaza increased their parties’ counts on Sunday by roughly 70,000 and 26,000, respectively, with smaller blocs such as the moderate-right Democratic Alliance losing out. Participation rose from 45% to 51%.

UNCONVENTIONIAL WARFARE AGAINST VENEZUELA: A CONVERSATION WITH PASCUALINA CURCIO (PART I)

"We are in the context of an economic war that is not limited to the unilateral and coercive measures against our country. The attacks on the bolívar also affect our production significantly and the economy as a whole.

It is true that the economy has shrunken, and we acknowledge it. However, the attack on the bolívar acts internally. Let me explain: when imperialism attacks a currency, the monetary scale changes. What happens is a kind of monetary hallucination inside the economy."

Venezuela’s electoral authority approved three requests to initiate the procedure for a recall referendum, marking the beginning of a long constitutional process that could eventually see President Nicolás Maduro recalled from office.

The National Electoral Council (CNE) announced Monday on Twitter that it had accepted petitions to promote a recall effort from three groups: the Venezuelan Movement for the Recall (Mover), All United for the Recall Referendum, and the National Executive Committee of Confedejunta alongside the Committee of National and International Democracy.

VENEZUELA: GASOLINE AND CRUDE PRODUCTION ON THE RISE WHILE INFLATION SLOWS DOWN

Venezuela has lifted gasoline production with four major refineries back online.

State oil company PDVSA is currently producing almost 160,000 barrels per day (bpd) of gasoline, local sources told Reuters. The number is an important jump from the 82,000 bpd reported at the end of last year. If the higher output continues it would successfully cover domestic demand which currently stands at around 110,000 bpd.

VENEZUELAN ELECTORAL COUNCIL SETS RECALL REFERENDUM PROCESS IN MOTION

According to Article 72 of the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution, voters may revoke a public official’s term once said official has served half of their term. In order to trigger the vote, the petitioners must secure valid signatures comprising 20 percent of the electorate that voted for the official, in this case from the national voter list. The recall referendum must then see over 25 percent of eligible voters take part, and the official is recalled if there are more votes for it than he/she received when elected.

The CNE vowed to release a schedule for the different steps in the coming days. If a successful recall vote is held before January 10, 2023, it will trigger a snap presidential election within a 30-day lapse. If it happens after, the vice president will take over as president for the remainder of the term.
