The vice-president of the Community Councils and Communes of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Jorge Arreaza, said that the Second National Popular Consultation 2024, which will take place this Sunday, is an example of democracy.

“It's an example of how Venezuelan democracy differs from other representative democratic processes, which are processes co-opted and hijacked by the power of corporations and transnational corporations,” Arreaza said.

Likewise, he said that Venezuela is deepening its democracy every day: “We here in Venezuela owe ourselves, as a people,” he said.

In that regard, he recalled that this Sunday, all Venezuelans over 15 years of age are invited to participate. “We will go to the electoral centers located in each commune.”

“In most cases, there will be only one polling place per commune, although in some cases there may be two. There we will find the list of projects that, as neighbors, we discuss and select in community meetings on specific agendas for action,” she stressed.
