The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, announced a historic leap in investment for community projects. The country will go from 33,000 works financed in 2025 to more than 42,680 projects, with an investment of more than 426 million dollars by 2026.
During a day in the Amalivaca Commune in Caracas, the head of state highlighted that these resources come from the national economy and the work of the Venezuelan people: «The empire wants to reissue the old formula of economic war, but today we are prepared,» said Maduro, pointing out the strength of the economic system against the external pressures.
The President revealed that the construction sector grew by 14% in 2025 thanks to the promotion of the Communes and Communal Circuits. These popular organizations carry out road works, schools, high schools, universities, markets, squares and sports fields through the method of popular consultations.
«Directly, for the deepest truth we have: the organized people, and that is transformed into construction works,» pointed out President Maduro about this system of direct democracy. In 2024, 9,258 projects were financed with 95 million dollars, while in 2025 the figure increased to 33,743 projects with 337 million.
For 2026, the Bolivarian Government will implement an innovation proposed by Mayor Carmen Meléndez: To finance both the first and second most voted projects in each community consultation. «Starting this year, the first two projects must have their financing so that they benefit the community,» explained the president.
The national dignitary asked the authorities to maintain an imperturbable behavior in the face of threats and not neglect the construction of the Homeland: «We are defending the most sacred: our communities, our families,» he stated, predicting that in 2026 the People’s Power will take «a leap that will surprise the world.»
