The demonstration culminated with the presentation of thousands of photocopies of the petitions with voter signatures, the originals of which were signed in November and December 2003 to request that the National Electoral Council convene a referendum on whether Chávez should remain in the presidency.
The opposition coalition known as the Democratic Coordinator claims that it gathered 3.4 million signatures in support of the recall referendum, a million more than the minimum necessary, according to the Venezuelan constitution, which states that 20 percent of the electorate must be in favour of such a vote.
The Chávez government maintains that hundreds of thousands of signatures are not valid, that in some cases the petition sheets -- to hold 10 signatures each -- were filled out by the same person, and in many other cases that fingerprints were falsified, with some reportedly marking the sheet with an elbow.
