Regarding the observations of the text, there is the change of instances by entities of the People’s Power, based on what is contemplated in article 169 of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (CRBV), referring to the organization of municipalities and other local entities.
The president of the People’s Power Subcommittee, deputy Gabriela Peña (PSUV/Miranda), explained that in the process of consulting the law, it has been proposed to expand article 16, referring to citizen training and to create the National School for the Strengthening of Popular power.
