Over 47,000 communities will participate in discussion processes to strengthen the Bolivarian Revolution.
On Wednesday, just hours before the start of the 2025 electoral calendar, the vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, called for popular assemblies to identify candidate proposals for the upcoming legislative elections.

“Our country is moving towards a new form of government in which our system of organized communities will be fundamental,” he said during a video conference with PSUV militants.
Cabello then announced that over 47,000 Venezuelan communities would take part in the PSUV and PSUV Youth assemblies, which will be held between Thursday and Friday.
“We will conduct a diagnosis of our Party to prepare for this year’s tasks, including participation in the April 27 elections, which are being organized in accordance with the Constitution,” he recalled.
During the grassroots assemblies, participants will debate topics such as the new stage of the Bolivarian Revolution, the organization of community circuits and teams, the profiles of PSUV candidates, and the party’s participation in forming a historic revolutionary bloc.
“The debate must be broad, inclusive, respectful, sincere, proactive, moralizing, transformative, revolutionary, critical, and self-critical. This is the work we must carry out at every level of Party organization,” Cabello stressed.
Following these community debates, the PSUV and its youth wing will hold national congresses from February 4 to 6. These events will be attended by no fewer than 2,272 representatives from PSUV structures across all Venezuelan states.
“We will put forward an inclusive proposal capable of considering both local and emerging leaderships for nomination to elected positions,” Cabello said, reminding that the PSUV is one of the organizations that form part of the Great Patriotic Pole.
