The Bolivarian leader is scheduled to offer a summary of the Second National Popular Consultation held on Sunday. Maduro is accompanied by Vice President Delcy Rodriguez and the Minister for Communes and Social Movements, Angel Prado.
The National Popular Consultation in Venezuela is a mechanism for citizen participation that seeks to obtain the opinion of the population on issues of interest for the care of their communities.
On August 25, Venezuelans over 15 years of age participated in this consultation process to prioritize local development projects that the national government will finance and the communities will execute.
President Maduro stated that quarterly popular consultations on local development projects must become the beginning of a new form of governance based on living and direct democracy.
“We have to go to the territory, declare ourselves permanent commoners, and govern with the communal circuits. That is the proposal of the Seven Transformations,” he said, recalling that the processes for the construction of a new democracy will require time because they imply collective explanation, organization, implementation, and learning.
“We must develop the great stage of popular self-government. I am sure that we will make the necessary changes and we will make Venezuela much better,” Maduro stressed, recalling that the Venezuelan state is a state of law and justice in the social, economic, political, and democratic sense.
