Day of popular reunion
“Sunday was a day of popular reunion,” said Prado. “It was a day on which all the revolutionary forces of the country met again. They agreed on the need to deepen the Bolivarian Revolution.” Prado noted that even those who do not agree on all aspects of politics participated in the process for the interest of resolving common problems.
He also affirmed that the Venezuelan people today celebrate this method and defend their democracy.
“25 years after the revolution, we can say that we are establishing solid bases to build our own democracy,” he said.
The head of communes reported that they are finishing projects and preparing to start new ones, and confirmed that the resources for the projects will be received starting this week.
The head of communes pointed out that progress towards great changes and transformations is materializing and the people are empowering themselves in this process: “The revolution will definitely become irreversible. We are moving towards territorial socialism. We believe in that, and the conditions in the country today, politically, economically, socially, and spiritually, are available to definitively build the commune in Venezuela as a structure of self-government.”
