The second phase of a national project to renovate and beautify Venezuela's barrios will improve the lives of one million Venezuelans, according to President Nicolas Maduro.
Yesterday Maduro announced that from 2 November, plan Barrio Nuevo, Barrio Tricolor will enter its second stage, which will have a greater focus on sustainable development, including urban agriculture.

Thirdly, the programme will continue to promote decent living conditions through the renovation of houses in the barrios, along with providing drinking water, sewerage and electricity. Maduro stated that around 10% of Venezuela's communities still do not have all those basic services, and called on community organisations to continue to engage in the mission.
The fourth and fifth points call for the military to provide greater support, and for better logistical management. The sixth point is to make communities more productive, including through the promotion of urban agriculture.
The final two points call for greater political organisation and the establishment of community assemblies that will be involved in the implementation of the mission.

I wish them all the success in the world. And freedom from American intervention.

The sad truth is the government is broke and inflation is approaching 50 % because they finance a huge deficit printing bolivars. Maduro has really dumb economic policies, is trying to get around the coming elections somehow, and spends a lot of time announcing new plans and budgets he knows he won't fund. It's cheap populism.

... he prefers to complain about losing Twitter followers. You know, the kind of thing that an uptight 16-year-old would complain about.

without the steady efforts of the world's bully trying 24/7 to destabilize and destroy their leftist elected governments.
