The scope of this regulation was addressed by the deputy, Juliana Ruizwhich states that organizations must be accountable for their funding.
During an interview on the show In the airwhich transmits Venezuelan Television (VTV)pointed out that “This Law is going to help us spread the word about what has been done with all this financing that has reached the NGOs (Non-governmental organizations). We have a great responsibility towards our people, because we must explain to them what has happened in all this time and what has happened to those resources”.
In this sense, he pointed out that “these organizations had other purposes, they were directed at the media. They are supposed to serve the most vulnerable sectors under very specific conditions, Until today’s sun, we have not been able to verify what has happened, for sure, with the financing”.

Finally, he indicated that the Bill is under review: “the revision of this Law is in the hands of the National Policy Commission of the AN, we are waiting for a more in-depth analysis to be carried out to be able to bring it to a full discussion, of the organized People’s Power. It is a Law that is in full study”.
