00:00On Sunday, October 18th, Venezuela held its second National Popular Consultation of 2026.
00:06This is a mechanism through which organized popular power selects projects that were previously prioritized by communities within their communes
00:14and condominium associations.
00:16A total of 48,086 communal councils, organized into 5,418 communes across all Venezuelan states and the capital district,
00:26participated in the consultation.
00:28For the first time, condominium associations participated in the vote as well, which expanded the scope of participatory and protagonistic
00:36democracy promoted by the Venezuelan government.
00:39This strengthened popular power in developing solutions to local needs.
00:44The consultation aimed to strengthen public services and the productive communal economy and consolidate spaces for peace ahead of the
00:52holiday season in December.
01:03Also, Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez congratulated the Venezuelan people on the occasion of their participation in the Second National
01:10Popular Consultation on Communes and Condominiums Boards.
01:17I want to congratulate all Venezuelan citizens who have participated in this consultation, because this reflects a genuine belief in
01:28a democracy that is growing stronger,
01:30a democracy that respects the decisions of organized communes in communal circuits among neighbors and in condominium boards and with
01:44extraordinary participation.
01:46I can only say that I feel very happy. I thank you and congratulate you.
01:52Now it's time to carry out and implement those projects. The investment funds for these projects are ready to be
01:59allocated for their implementation.
02:03Venezuela's ministers of communes and social movements, Ángel Prado, stated that citizens responded to Acting President Delcy Rodriguez's call to
02:12vote on projects that would benefit their communities.
02:20Acting President Delcy Rodriguez organized this popular consultation and our people responded very well.
02:25They selected the projects we expect funding to begin next week, and we will combine this electoral celebration with the
02:31December festivities.
02:32We will implement the projects during the last quarter of the year.
02:36We monitor 11,495 polling centers, 12,769 polling stations, and 5,418 communal circuits, as well as more than
02:5048,000 communal councils.
02:53This allowed millions of men and women, including many young people, to watch in large numbers today for their projects
02:58and sets a measure to the world.
03:00Venezuela is united in defending its democracy.
03:03There is a message to the world that Venezuela, in unidad, defiende its democracy.
03:07Venezuela is Vladimir planting its dieseconom激 I-Nex is not the only means.
03:07Venezuela is intervening on secret donkey-馬列.
