On the previous day, the President called for an in-depth discussion of the Community Cities Bill, in the popular consultation process that is scheduled to begin in the country next Friday.
In a video conference with representatives of the communes and municipal councils, the president called for broad discussions to deepen the participatory and heroic democracy in each region.
The Head of State indicated that the debate on the legal instrument aims to confront the campaign that the opposition sectors are promoting to undermine efforts to adopt methods of self-government in societies.
In the previous week, the National Assembly (Parliament) of Venezuela approved the bill for collective cities, which aims to create a new organizational, social and production model to diversify the regional economy.
The Chairman of the Standing Committee of Communities, Luis José Marcano, highlighted the purpose of the legal instrument to promote the organization of communal citizens from a socialist concept of economic development.
