Those who are elected as justices of the peace on December 15 will have the task of strengthening democracy and justice in each community, said the Vice President for Territorial Socialism, Héctor Rodríguez, during a conversation with community leaders from the Antímano parish of Caracas.

“When injustice overflows, violence begins in a community. There are everyday situations that must be addressed by justices of the peace (...) That's what leading democracy is all about, solving everyday problems,” Rodríguez said, while stating that justice in Venezuela requires justices of the peace so that “things don't get out of hand.”

In this regard, according to a press release from the Ministry of Education, the vice-president recognized that there are situations in the country that are not addressed by the justice system, so he emphasized that communal judges and justices of the peace have the primary task of resolving conflicts, before they cross the criminal line.

For his part, lawyer and candidate for justice of the peace Yinmy Solano said that the citizens who are elected will allow the judicial process in Venezuela to be decongested and to resolve everyday issues in our communities.

Iris Beltrán, spokeswoman for the José Félix Ribas Socialist Commune, explained that the candidates from this commune were selected by the families that live in the sector. “We, the People's Power, are going to be able to resolve our things through them (justices of the peace).”
