The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, congratulated with enthusiasm and pride to the youth for their massive participation in the National Popular Consultation held in a combined way with the municipal elections. He also described the process as a “total success”, highlighting the commitment, energy and leadership of this sector of the population in the construction of the future of the country.
“I feel proud of the leadership of youth; we have connected with the most beautiful, youth, full of energy; we cannot fail,” said the head of state, visibly excited by the results of the day.
He announced that five thousand 336 projects were approved directly by the vote of the town, focused on key areas such as sport, culture, music and youth entrepreneurship. In addition, he explained that each of these projects will be replicated in two spaces, which raises the impact to 10,672 youth initiatives that will begin to be executed throughout the national territory.
Similarly, he stressed that the decision to make the youth consultation together with the municipal elections was successful, since it allowed greater participation and visibility of the proposals of organized youth. “It comes tremendous work,” he said, referring to the deployment that will be carried out to ensure that each project becomes a reality.
This day represents a milestone in strengthening youth power within the Bolivarian socialist model, by reaffirming that youth is not only the future, but the present asset and transformative of the revolution. With this consultation, the National Government confirms its commitment to youthful prominence, participatory democracy and the impulse of public policies that are born from the bases.
