Today more than ever, the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, has called for progress in consolidating a new geopolitics and regional integration for the construction of the Great Homeland that the peoples have been dreaming of for centuries.
When the President gave an account of his leadership in 2022 before the National Assembly, he presented the six basic guidelines for how to focus the efforts of the national will and conscience of the entire Venezuelan people in 2023.
He revealed this in an interview with his colleague from Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva; from Colombia, Gustavo Petro; and Alberto Fernández from Argentina told them that a special new hour is coming to unite the efforts and paths of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean. All this, he specified, to promote the formation of a powerful bloc of political forces, an economic power that speaks to the world and also invites it to integrate, to build new poles of power.
He said Venezuela is at the forefront of the struggle to build the world of Patria Grande, that independent and sovereign force that will bring greater happiness, progress and prosperity to this country and the entire Latin American and Caribbean continent.
For this world to arrive, “a cohesive, unified and progressive Latin American and Caribbean bloc is needed,” he stressed.
Maduro also mentioned among the areas of work the consolidation of economic growth with equality, aimed at the diversification of the economy, the creation of wealth, goods and products, with the aim of promoting the healing of the wounds of inequalities and the “tough economic war”.
Another directive relates to the extension of protection and social security to all people, especially the victims of the economic blockade, with the resumption of missions, the Great Missions and a special social investment and infrastructure plan.
This plan, which he expects to activate in the first quarter of the current year, is in the preparation phase and has to do with the fight against poverty, misery and hardship and will combine it with the 1X10 program of Good Government and the Movement We Are Venezuela.
It is a special plan of life through life, healing wounds, social equality, reviving all the forces of the social model that we have seen all these years of revolution, he noted.
Expanding the presence of popular power in all spheres of economic, social and political life is another thematic axis aimed at expanding influence in the territorial, local and regional spheres in order to give more power to the people and local councils.
Lines of work also include consolidating the nation’s comprehensive security plan and ensuring justice; and consistent progress towards Venezuela’s integral independence and decolonization.
