(Vatican Radio) Venezuela`s National Electoral Agency indicates that a push for a referendum on the leadership of Nicolas Maduro won`t be in time to precipitate a Presidential Election.

Listen to James Blears’ report:

The National Electoral Agency announced that if the opposition must follow protocol and procedure, and collect four million signatures for a Referendum by late October.  They then have one month to verify, and 90 more days to decide whether to schedule an official referendum.

After this latest development, the opposition -- which has lambasted officials for demanding fingerprints to back up phase one of this process and which required just one percent of the electorate`s vote -- are now threatening to bypass the entire  process, and hold a nationwide referendum rally on 1 Sept.

If the recall vote on President Nicolas Maduro and his government is not done and dusted by 10 Jan,  even if the result went against him,  constitutionally, his vice president Aristobulo Izturiz would take his place, insuring continuity of policy, until the presidential term is completed in 2019.

For his part, President Maduro has initiated legal challenges and launched a campaign, vowing he`ll do everything in his power to prevent a referendum taking place this year.
