“The representation or what we say that constituent is worth in the National Constituent Assembly corresponds to the 83,000 voters who are in the committees and corresponds exactly to the population average of the municipalities, then taken to the average of the whole country”, she said in the “Vladimir a la 1” (Vladimir at 1) program, broadcast by Globovision.
In that space, she indicated that the election of 364 constituents by the territorial way – one by municipality, two by state capitals and seven by Capital District – would allow to have the vision of the whole national territory.
