Venezuelan Vice-President Jorge Rodríguez Tuesday said he is filing a complaint with the National Electoral Council (CNE) asking it to determine whether the Venezuelan Bishops' Conference (CEV) may engage in electioneering against the proposed changes to the Constitution.

"And if it (CEV) is a political party, then CNE should determine whether the CEV enrolled or not in the bloc that rejects the reform." Rodríguez added that if the CEV enrolled in such bloc, then the Catholic bishops would have to demonstrate whether they met all the relevant legal requirements.

The official added that the anti-reform street demonstrations staged Monday in central states Carabobo and Aragua were planned in the Diocesan Institute of Maracay.
