On his part, the Vice Minister of Communes and Social Movements, Fernando Jose Rodriguez, added that “we are only promoting this experience, we are accompanying together with the Ministry of University Education, and the Federal Council of Government (CFG) these experiences of the organized Popular Power, which shows us every day experiences of territorial self-government that demonstrate how in adverse situations, they overcome all obstacles and fulfill the projects with well-managed resources, of which the surpluses are used in the same community.”
“The idea of this Congress is to be a permanent meeting so that the spokesmen and spokeswomen of these successful experiences can exchange, systematize and nurture their knowledge to other Communal Councils that, perhaps, do not have these successful experiences that have felt. Likewise, this University must be given new impetus so that it can be territorialized in all the Community Councils because this allows us to open up lines of research and accompany the management of public management indicators”, highlighted the Vice-Minister.
