The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, called for a practical, theoretical, political and strategic debate to determine with precision the main route of the Communal Offensive Plan 2019, which will serve to integrate Popular Power to the demands of the nation. “I call a practical, theoretical, political, and strategic debate to make the 2019 Communal Offensive Plan and to determine with precision the potentialities of the Communal Power. 20 days for a debate with resolution and concrete proposals”, he instructed.
The head of state stressed that the 2019 Communal Offensive Plan, must respond to the 2019-2025 Plan of the Nation, according to the reality and priority of the historical moment that the country is living.
For this reason, he explained that the Plan consists of 5 main elements:

- Social and cultural environment (where education is integrated)
- The integral Defense of the Homeland, where the Militia and the Peace Crews participate
