During the National Popular Consultation that is taking place this Sunday in the country, approximately 15 international observers from different parts of the world gathered at the Dr. José de Jesús Arocha National Educational Unit, in Petare, Sucre municipality in the state of Miranda, to evaluate the participation process.

In this electoral center, where eight communal councils exercise their right to vote, international guests highlighted the massive, leading and democratic participation of the community.

Puerto Rican sociologist Ramón Grosfoguel said that this is a practice he considers unprecedented and an example for the world.

“This shows that the entire international campaign against Venezuela is a fallacy, here we vote for community priorities, this is an example for the world of participatory democracy, of the president for the people, for those of us who come from outside this is not normal, and I congratulate the Bolivarian Government and President Nicolás Maduro for their communal system of participation,” he said.

In the same way, the observers David MacDonald, from Barbados; and Catia Colmenares, from Mexico, expressed their support and admiration for the initiative, and highlighted the importance of consultation and the opportunity afforded to the people to exercise their power in an environment of peace and self-awareness.

“This is an important consultation, you are empowering the people, giving the population the opportunity to participate in a democratic process. They are demonstrating our origins and what allows us to empower the people of the Caribbean, this is what socialism is all about,” said MacDonald.

For his part, Mamadu Djabi Djalo, overseer of Guinea-Bissau, stressed that Venezuela is the most democratic country in the world. “This is an experience for everyone, it's not easy to see these liberation processes in the world. We see the people of Venezuela strengthened,” he said.
