To approach the communities, three elements must be taken into account: visibility, planning and participation, said parliamentarian Juan Carlos Alemán.

In this sense, he pointed out that to give visibility to the issues of the communities “people are organized and know what their priority is.”
«People know what is the priority in their territory, it is the people who decide that, and one of the things that has to do with this is planning, without falling into bureaucratism, and for this you have to listen to the people », he expressed.
Deputy Aleman noted that listening to the people leads to the participation of citizens in all the processes that the communities manage and, in this context, the needs are truly known.
He stressed that this last element is especially pertinent in the context of the Social Comptrollership Law, due to the importance of popular accompaniment that guarantees that public works come to fruition and that resources are allocated to what is really needed in the communities.
«There must be a balance, and that comes from thinking about the strategic aspects of this sector. For that, an organized community that plans and participates is required”, he added.
Needs and potential
For this work “we must focus on the needs of the people, but according to the potential they have.”
In this context, it is necessary to talk about the resources allocated to Popular Power, “this organization must not be underestimated, experiences have told us that the Bolivarian task was implemented in which everyone collaborated to solve community issues, we must take take into account the performance and organization of the people”.
