Mission 13 de Abril to transform communities comprehensively

Caracas, Distrito Capital
Caracas, Aug 24. ABN.- "The (governmental) Mission 13 de Abril has to summarize the other missions and bring them to a new level to reach a higher impact on the comprehensive transformation of communities."

The statements were made by the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, in his weekly program "Aló, Presidente", carried out in the poor neighborhood La Bombilla, in Caracas, where he put into motion the Mission 13 de Abril.

"It is a mission with three main dimensions: housing infrastructure, social synthesis, and communal economy," he stated.

Regarding the infrastructure, he explained that it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive urban transformation in the local neighborhood, the sector, or in the thorp where the Mission 13 de Abril takes place; the social part is more about the people. It is the convergence of the missions in order to reach a higher social development.

"We have to achieve a much higher added value, articulate educative and health missions (...) including absolutely everyone in the selected community, in this case, La Bombilla," he explained.

Furthermore, Chávez said that the communal economy issue implies to gather the productive forces of the neighborhood creating spaces to build micro-companies: "A yard, a dead end, we need to find spaces."

President Chávez emphasized that it is a communal economy owned by its society: "A factory built in here will belong to La Bombilla because it is a collective property. This way, we are sowing the seed of the Bolivarian socialism, which was not copied from anywhere, we created it. This is a real democracy."
