Over 3,600 communes represent the core of the entire public and popular planning system.
Starting Monday, Venezuela will establish “popular and communal cabinets” to identify the population’s main needs and design concrete strategies to address them.

“With this step, the Popular and Communal Government System is born in our country,” said Deputy Planning Minister Ricardo Menendez, who explained that this policy will help consolidate the new management model based on popular organization and planning from within the territories.
Currently, there are over 3,600 communes operating throughout the country, representing the core of the entire public and popular planning system.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez stated that the halls of each commune will be interconnected with the National System Hall, thus consolidating a Popular and Communal Government System aimed at strengthening direct, participatory, and leading democracy; enhancing new government strategies and techniques; and territorializing public policies.
During the High-Level Workshop on Popular Government held on February 20, President Nicolas Maduro called for the construction of the new communal state to eliminate old bureaucratic structures that fail to solve people’s problems.
The Bolivarian leader presented the guide for the installation and operation of the Self-Government Halls, the new structure that will allow coordination between governments at different levels.
“We will push forward a significant historical offensive to dismantle the old bourgeois, bureaucratic, and corrupt state and work on building a new democratic and popular one,” he said.
“It is necessary to carry out a complete reengineering of the Venezuelan state. The goal is to achieve greater efficiency in execution,” Maduro stressed, urging authorities and citizens to work together to materialize the Seven Transformations Plan (2025-2031).
