Caracas, Aug 30 (Prensa Latina) The Venezuela National Assembly
extended consultations on the Constitutional Reform to the 24 states of
the country to encourage the people's participation in the process.

The activity is part of a political offensive planned by the
legislature that comprises a positioning step that will last until
halfway through October.

Then they will pass to a consolidation step before the third discussion
of the project in parliament, pointed out Deputy Rafael Delgado.

Delgado said that the project envisages the creation of community and
specialized boards, the latter including organizations of Venezuelan
society while the first will have community councils, technical water
boards, health and food committees and other structures.

In addition, there will be a popular assembly in every municipality
with representations of the boards and State meeting later.

The results of the consultations will be submitted to the national

bill.

Constitution to help consolidate the building of a new socialist model
in the country.
