VENEZUELAN PARLIAMENT APPOINTS NEW ELECTORAL AUTHORITIES WITH TWO OPPOSITION MEMBERS
International reactions, mainly from Washington and its allies, were also swift after Tuesday’s announcement. Luis Almagro, head of the Organization of American States (OAS), criticized the appointments and accused those who took part in the CNE dialogue of being “collaborationists” of the Maduro government.
However, the assistant secretary for the US Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Julie Chung, struck a more moderate tone. The diplomat said “it's up to Venezuelans” to decide whether the new National Electoral Council is a positive step, but stressed that the US would “continue to press for the fundamental minimum changes needed for free and fair elections.”

CRISIS & CRITIQUE: NEW CNE, NEW POLITICAL SCENE?
The two principal CNE rectors belonging to the opposition (out of a total of five) come from currents with significant electoral weight that, until now, toed the abstentionist line dictated by Venezuela’s radical right.
On the one hand, Enrique Márquez, who was also appointed to be CNE vice president, comes from the opposition A New Era (UNT) party which is a member of the G4 coalition: the four largest opposition parties which boycotted recent elections.
Likewise, the appointment of engineer Roberto Picón as CNE rector is surprising. Picón, in addition to being a businessman, is an electoral advisor for the opposition and designed the Democratic Unity Roundtable’s (MUD) successful 2015 election strategy.

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.
