The head of state reiterated his commitment to the Venezuelan people, emphasizing that “the true revolutionary must have a pure, open soul and be ready to go to the trench they are assigned, on the day they are assigned, in the way they are assigned, and to fulfill their duty to the people.”

The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, led a High-Level Workshop of the People’s Government this Tuesday, highlighting progress in the transformation of the Venezuelan state and outlining new goals to consolidate the power of the people.

During his speech, the president emphasized that the year 2025 will mark a historic offensive to “pulverize the old bourgeois, bureaucratic, corrupt, detached, and isolated state that despises the people.”

President Maduro urged all national authorities, security forces, and the general population to work together in implementing the Plan of the Seven Transformations from People’s Power, aiming to achieve greater efficiency in public management.

In this regard, the Venezuelan president announced that a plan is being developed to transform the country’s governorships and mayoralties, with the goal of placing them “at the obedient service of the people’s power.” Additionally, he highlighted that there are currently 5,338 communal circuits in Venezuela and set a target of reaching 6,000 consolidated communes by 2027.

President Maduro celebrated the decision of the National Electoral Council (CNE) to prioritize the Second National Popular Consultation, scheduled for April 27, 2025, ahead of the elections for deputies to the National Assembly, governors, and legislative councils.

He also reported that the resources for the First National Popular Consultation 2025 will be fully allocated in the coming days, representing a significant step forward in citizen participation.

The Venezuelan leader also addressed international issues, sending a message to former U.S. President Donald Trump to request reports from the FBI and DEA over the past four years in Colombia. Maduro denounced that these agencies allegedly financed and directed the defunct criminal group Tren de Aragua, with the supposed aim of bringing terrorism to Venezuela during the Joe Biden administration.

On the humanitarian front, Maduro announced the arrival of 177 compatriots to Venezuela, who had been detained at the U.S. military base in Guantánamo and were deported by the U.S. government. These Venezuelans were rescued through the Great Mission Vuelta a la Patria, which will now be led by Anahí Arismendi, appointed by the president as head of this initiative.
