Venezuela: Discussion on the demand for various electoral processes
Luis Fuenmayor Toro discusses the ambiguity surrounding recent demands for elections in Venezuela, questioning which specific electoral processes are being called for. He distinguishes between various levels of governance, including condominium elections, communal councils, municipal elections for mayors, and regional elections for governors and legislative councils.
Fuenmayor Toro notes that while municipal power is theoretically the closest to the daily lives of citizens, there appears to be a lack of public demand for these elections. He also touches upon the role of communal councils, which are described by PSUV militants as being close to the people, but observes that many citizens remain disconnected from municipal councils and communal boards.
