This Friday, November 15, the first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello Rondón, assured that in Venezuela every day there are debates, discussions and decisions are made, “that is a true democracy.”

“Not the democracy that paints us, there is evidence that today still for the consultation of the Community Councils, there are officials from Mayors and Governorates who want what they want to impose and not what the People decide,” he stressed.

In that sense, he said that these officials put the People “like a commissioner so that people don't talk. It doesn't work, let yourself be helped because when the people push you are helping you to govern.”

During his speech, at the Congress of the Bolivarian Historical Bloc. at the Simon Bolivar Convention Center of the Generalissimo Francisco de Miranda Air Base, he stressed that the idea is to live together “without gossip, without strides, just thinking about the common good”.

For this reason, he argued that “this Congress is the transformation of the State, we have to stand in the territory, it's very easy to rule from an office, because you don't send anyone, you have no one to rule, and the problem is when you have to go with the people”.

He recalled that one of the lines of Commander Hugo Chávez, was that of December 8, 2012, of electing Nicolás Maduro as President of the Republic, “the People elected Nicolás Maduro”.
