At the beginning of the meeting, President Nicolás Maduro asked that there should be no clemency with those party members who fall into acts of corruption, in reference to a recent case where members of the PSUV in the western state of Zulia were arrested by police authorities for being part of a drug trafficking network.
2400 delegates from all over Venezuela will discuss until next Tuesday the organization of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) for the new medium term challenge which has been called by President Maduro as the new stage of transition to socialism.
