Ocariz believes that a person who stays in power for so long encourages vices and stimulates corruption in the system. In addition, he assures that in a period of management a good job can be done
The leader of Primero Justicia Carlos Ocariz visited Yaracuy state on Thursday, June 16, from where he proposed the reduction of the presidential term from six to four years, as well as the elimination of re-election indefinitely and leaving it only once.
For Ocariz, coming to power to serve the citizens is one thing and remaining clinging to it is another. For this reason, he suggested that whoever manages to win in the presidential elections take into account his proposal via an amendment to the Constitution.
In his opinion, “it is not healthy” for a person to remain in public office for so long because “vices are created and corruption is encouraged.” and he stressed that to manage in a popularly elected position you don’t need to spend a lot of time to do a good job.
“No matter how much competition there is between political groups, it is democratic to allow and give way to the next generations, those who have new ideas and plans. Any leadership is frustrated if there is a legal framework that prevents or distances the alternation of power, “added Carlos Ocariz.
He also stressed that alternation in power is healthy in a democracy and via an amendment to the Constitution this can be allowed.

Then in his social networksOcariz stressed that his proposal can be extended to all positions of popular election such as governors, deputies to the Legislative Councils, mayors and councilors.
He warned that indefinite permanence in power, in addition to stimulating corruption, weakens democracy; it frustrates emerging leaders and dilutes creativity.
1/3 terms of four years and one re-election is enough for a politician to do a good job. In this sense, we propose that this initiative be applied in the future in all positions of popular election.

3/3 What have we gained with indefinite reelection here? Only setbacks… Metros turned off, abandoned hospitals, having light is a miracle, very little water, collapsed public services!
You have to let go to move forward. Indefinite re-election has to end!– Carlos Ocariz (@CarlosOcariz) June 16, 2022
On May 16, the Venezuelan opposition within the Unitarian Platform announced that it will choose a presidential candidate for the 2024 elections through primary elections that it plans to hold no later than 2023.
“The presidential candidate of the democratic forces will be chosen by a broad and plural primary process that will take place in 2023,” the opposition alliance said in a statement.
However, several sectors of the opposition consider that this is not the time to be aware of this initiative but rather to attend to the needs of the country’s population, as well as the construction of constant communication with citizens.
