INCOMING-

THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS, AS NE CENTRAL OBJECTIVE OF OUR POLITICAL PROJECT, IS DEFINED BY THREE FUNDAMENTAL FOCAL POINTS: A. THE POLITICAL PRACTICE: THE PEAL POWER OF THE CONSTINFION WE WILL CONSTRUCT A REPUBLIC IN WHICH A HUMAN BEING WOULD HAVE HIS RIGHTS RESPECFEO, HIS NECESSITIES CARED FOR, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS CAPABILITIES STIMULATED; A SOCIETY THAT GUARANTEES [QUALIFY OF OPPORTUNITIES; A SYSTEM OF SOCIAL SECURITY BASED ON SOLIDARITY AND NOR ON CHARITY; AN EffECENE JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAI ADMINISTERS JUSTICE IN AN IMPARTIAL, APPROPRIATE , AND TRUSTWORTHY MANNER; A STATE MECHANISM, SEPARATED IRON NYPERTROPRIC INEFFICIENCY, THAT IS MARKED BY EFFICIENCY , CAPABIIIN, AND MERITOCRACY; A STATE THAI ERADICATED CLIENTEHISM AND PATRONAGE. IN THE SEARCH FOR THIS OBJECTIVE IN DAILY POLITICAL PRACTICE, WE MUST UNITE, ORGANIZE , AND ELEVATE THE CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE SPIRIT OF THE STRUGGLE IN THE VENEZUELAN PEOPLE. THE PVT PURSUES THE CREATION OF PATRIOTIC CONSTITUDONAI CIRCLES THAI VIII CONTRIBUTE 10 THIS POLITICAL GOAL: 10 BEGIN BUILDING A REAL CONSIIIUTIONAL POWER IN THE SIREETS THAT TODAY OPPOSES CONTINUAL FRAUD AND TOMORROW DEFENDS, BLOCK BY BLOCK - VILLAGE BY VIIIACE, ALL INE PATRIOTIC AND DEMOCRATIC MEASURES ESTABLISHED BY INE GOVERNMENT OF THE FIFTH REPUBLIC. THE EXERCISE Of THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER.OF (RE PEOPLE IS ONE OF THEIR INHERENT POWERS. II IS A FUNCTION OF DEMOCRACY 10 AFFIRM THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE STRENGTHENING OF THE LOCAL POWER OF THE CONSTITUTION. AS A LECIEEMAIF EXPRESSION OF INE HILL AND RESPONSIBILITY OF 111E CITIZENS. 10 PUT THIS INTO PRACTICE. WE NEED IHE INVOLVEMENT Of ALL VENEZUELANS. B. THE ELECTORAL JUDICIARY: THE WAY TO CONVENE THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY THE CURRENT CONSTITUTION, BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF REPRESENTATION , PILLAR. THIS NAS MARRIED US 10 A DEAF POLITICAL SYSTEM, DIVORCED COMPLETELY IRON THE NEEDS Of THE COLLECTIVE, THE PARTIES THAI NAVE TAKEN CHARGE OF THE STATE HAVE LOST THEIR LEGITIMACY AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. [HEY STOPPED BEING INTERPRETERS FOR THE POPULAR COLLECTIVE SON TIME AGO. IHE EXHAUSTION Of THE VARIOUS PARTIES AND THEIR PROGRAMS AND THE SEPARATION OF THEIR LEADERS FROM TIE PEOPLE, IMPERILS THE UNTIL NOW. SO-CALLED 'DEMOCRATIC SYSTEM". IT IS TIME TO RETURN 10 TIE AARON ITS SOVEREIGNTY BY MAKING THE POWER OF THE CONSTITUTION A REALITY. IHE CIVIL SOCIETY OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF VENEZUELANS HAS BEEN SUBORDINATED BY THE POLITICAL POWER OF POLITICAL PARTIES. A SMALL MINORITY THAT HAS SQUANDERED NOT ONLY OUR NEATEN , BUT ALSO THE EXERCISE OF THE POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. THE RIGID CHARACTER 01 TOE CURRENT CONSTITUTION (19611 STATES THAT THE INITIATIVE OF NE CONVOCATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY SHOULD Cm FROM AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OR FROM THE ABSOLUTE MAJORITY Of THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLIES OF THE STATES. SO, BECAUSE Of ITS RIGIDITY , IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A MAJORITY OF VOTES TO PROCLAIM THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, THE EMERGENCE OF THIS INITIATIVE MUST BE MADE POSSIBLE BY THE PARLIAMENT AND THE LEGISLATURE. FURTHERMORE. WE CLEARLY INTEND TO PRESENT THE CERTAIN OPPORTUNITY TO CALL FOR A REFERENDUM, AS AN EXERCISE OF POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. WHAT 1HE POEPLE MAY WANT, THROUGH CLEAN ELECTIONS. WHICH WOULD BE CALLED FOR BY A MAJORITY. IS THE CONVOCATION OF A NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY. HASTEFLWOKPINGTHEARYONIZTSAFUNDMETL

THUS. THE CONVOCATION Of THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY IS URGENTLY NEEDED IN ORDER TO CREATE A SOVEREIGN SPACE IN WHICH WE CAN DEMONSTRATE OUR CAPACITY 10 SHAPE A NORMATIVE CONSTITUTION THAI MOULD BE IRE EXPRESSION OF THE WILL OF ME MAJORITY Of THE C/11/ENS OF VENEZUELA, THAT WOULD BE IRE FRAMEWORK. FLOOR, AND SUPPORT A PROGRAM OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES THAI, TODAY SEEM UNDELAYABLE. THIS WOULD BE A COHERENT CONSTITUTIONAL BODY THAT WILL STIMULATE THE PARTICIPATION AND ACTIVE ROLE OF EACH VENEZUELAN IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIFIH REPUBLIC, ONE HAT WILL BE TRULY DEMOCRATIC AND PATRIOTIC AND WILL RESPECT THE DIVERSITY OF OPINIONS AND THE RICHES OF MINORITIES WHILE AT THE SAME TIME RESCUING NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE. ARTICLE IV OF THE CURRENT CONSTITUTION ESTABLISHES THAT SOVEREIGNTY RESIDES WIN THE PEOPLE AND ALSO ESTABLISHES THAI IT SHOULD BE EXERCISED THROUGH SUFFRAGE , THROUGH (HE VOTE. WHICH IS THE EXPRESSION OF THE INDIVIDUAL WILL IN THIS WAY, THE PEOPLE EXERCISE THEIR WILT AND HEIR WILL IS EXPRESSED , AMONG OTHER WAYS, IN THE CREATION OF ENTITIES THAT ASSUME NE FUNCTIONS Of THE STATE AND HOLD THE PUBLIC POWER. ENTITIES Of PUBLIC POWER MUST NECESSARILY ARISE FROM A CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS THAT LEADS TO A NEW TEXT. FOR WITHOUT SUCH ENTITIES, IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE NEITHER 10 EXERCISE NOR EXPRESS THE WILL OF THE STATE, NOR ALSO 10 ACCOMPLISH NE DUTIES THAI BELONG 10 IHE GOVERNMENT. AND. AS WELL AS SUFFRAGE, II IS ENOUGH THAT THE PEOPLE EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH VOTING OR WHATEVER MIGHT BE THE FORM THAT THEY USE, IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE THAT ENE EXERCISE Of SOVEREIGNTY RESIDES IN THEMSELVES. THE DEMAND Of SUFFRAGE IS 10 SEEK 10 FULFILL AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE OPINION THAI EACH ONE EXPRESSES IN THE PROCESS OF FORMING A SOCIAL WILL WHICH IS POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. THE CURRENT COMMUNION ESTABLISHES AND SANCTIONS IHE REASONS TO CONSIDER THE INVAL MIMING THE CONSTITUTION AS BEING ARBITRARY OR ILLEGAL. WE ESPECIALLY VANE 10 MENTION ONE SUCH REASON 'TO ABOLISH THE CONSTITUTION Al ANY TOE, REGARDLESS Of WHO CDEIS FOR IT.' OUR PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY. AS PART Of AN ELECTORAL PROPOSAL (REFERENDUM SEEKS 10 ESTABLISH A POLITICAL, SOCIAL , AND JURIDICAL LINK OR BOND BETWEEN INE ELECTORAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL. AMONG THE CHANCES PROPOSED IN OUR GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM. WITH CANDIDATE HUGO CHAVEZ FRIAS AS THE HEAD, IS THE PROPOSAL FOR A NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONAL ASSEMBLY. IT IS NOT ABOUT. THEREFORE , A VIOLENT. EXTRA-INSTITUTIONAL RUPTURE OF THE CURRENT CONSTITUTION. WE MUST EXPLAIN THIS EVERY TIME WE SPEAK PUBEICARY. THIS IS ABOUT AN ESSENTIALLY POLITICAL PROBLEM, NOT A JUDICIAL ONE. WE RECOGNIZE THE NECESSITY THAT THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROCESS BE THE MANIFESTATION OF THE GENUINE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. SUGGESTED BY THE MAJORITY WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OF FRAUD, CORRUPTION , OR VIOLENCE. THIS SHOULD BE AN EXPRESSION Of A CIVIL SOCIETY. - Of A UNTIED PEOPLE, DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT SOCIAL STRATA BOUND TOGETHER ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY, POLITICALLY, AND CULTURALLY. 7.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CASES: FHE 11 CONTRACTS AGREED 10 IN NEW YORK ON FEBRUARY 14, 19C6 BY THEN PRESIDEN1 LUSINCHI , WHICH FLAGRANTLY VIOLATED THE SOVEREIGNTY or ENE NATION AND ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY DAMAGED THE NATIONAL PATRIMONY.

TO DELAY PAYMENT OF 1HE FOREIGN DEBT THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESTRUCTURED (APPROXIMATELY USD 19.725 KILLION) WHICH IS HELD BILATERALLY, MULFILAIERALLY , BY THE CLUB OF PARIS, ETC., WHILE MAINTAINING THE PAYMEN1 OF DEBT SERVICE ON THE RESTRUCTURED DEBT LUSO 111.677 MILLION/.

1. MACROECONOMIC EQUILIBRIA

THE PLANNED MACROECONOMIC POLICIES SHOULD BE SUBORDINATE 10 THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEIR ORIENTATION LEADS GENERAL MODEL PLAN Of DEVELOPMENT.. ECONOMY OF ME NATION. TOWARD THE PROPOSED GOALS OF THE THEREFORE , THEY SHOULD BE COORDINATED WIIH.THE GOALS AND SECTORS 10 TINICN THEY ARE SUBORDINATED. WITHIN INE 5 SECTOR MODEL MENTIONED ABOVE. ON THE OTHER HAND, 1HE MACROECONOMIC POLICIES OE SUBORDINATE 10 MACROSOCIAI POLICIES, AS THEY ARE EFFECTS RATHER THAN CAUSES.

IN TERMS OF THE SO-CALLED EXCHANGE POLICIES, UP CONSIDER 10 NE THE MOST DESIRABLE A REGULATED SYSTEM OF EXONANGE. UNIQUE AND FLEXIBLE. THAT MEANS THAT CONVERTABILITY WILL BE MAINIAINED IN PART , UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE CENTRAL BANK Of VENEZUELA: EKE VALUE OF THE RATE Of EXCHANGE WOOED BE ANCRORED IN A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM AND THE GRANTING AUTHORITY WOULD BE CENTRALIZED. IN THE ADOPTION Of THIS SYSTEM OF EXCHANGE. WE FIND THE ECRIOWING ADVANTAGES: A. THE SYSTEM WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE ECONOMIC PRIORITIES ESTABLISHED IN THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE PVR. B. INE SPECULATIONS OF EACH ECONOMIC SECTOR MAY BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. C. IT NORD ALLOW FOR THE GROWTH OF THE POLICIES ORIENTED 10 SUPPLYING THE INTERNAL MARKET. D. IT WOULD GUARANTEE A BUDGET FOR FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROL AND ENE CAPACIJY FOR IMPORTS. NEVERTHELESS , THE REGARD( CONSEQUENCES OF ADOPTING THE PLAN SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED: A. IT MIGHT FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF FAVORED INDIVIDUALS IN GRANTING THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTROLS. B. IT COULD OPEN THE POSSIBILITY OF EXCHANGE CORRUPTION AND TO THE EMERGENCE Of A BLACK MARKET OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE. C. II COULD UNLEASH COMPENSATORY ACTIONS BY SOME SECTORS .

THAT CONSIDER THEMSELVES THREATENED.

THE MODEL IS BUILT THROUGH A NETWORK OF PRODUCTIVE UNITS WITH VARIOUS DEGREES OF MAGNITUDE, COMPOSITION, AND TECHNOLOGY: FAMILY ENTERPRISES , MICROENTERPRISES , AND DIVERSE INDUSTRIALIZATION DESIGNS BASED ON THE SO-CALLED 'INDUSTRIALIZING INDUSTRIES." THE INTERMEDIATE PRODUCTIVE MODEL SHOULD HAVE A LIFE OF ITS OWN. THE STIMULATION WILL ACT IN THE LONG RUN THROUGH THE PRODUCTIVE NETWORK , AND FOR THIS THE PUB PLANS THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF INDUSTRIALIZATION: A. REVITALIZATION OF THE BASIC ENDOGENOUS NUCLEUS (BASIC ENTERPRISES/ SUCH AS IRON, STEEL, ALUMINUM , AND ELECTRICITY. B. GENERATION OF DYNAMIC MOMENTUM: ElEC1R01ECHANICS. METAL MECHANICS , BASIC CHEMISTRY , ENERGETIC INFRASTRUCTURE OF TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION. C.

THE SAVING OF OUR NATURAL SURROUNDINGS AND COUNTRYSIDE REQUIRES THE URBAN DECONGESTION OF IHE CENTRAL COASTAL CORE, BALANCED REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT, BORDER POLICIES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE ECOSYSTEMS OF OUR JUNGLES , SAVANNAS, AND HYDROGRAPHIC VALLEYS , AS WELT AS LEGISLATION THAT PENALIZES THOSE WHO COMMIT ECOLOGICAL CRIMES. WE SUPPORT THE SUSPENSION OF THE DECREE Of ISSO AND REJECT THE DENATIONALIZED , ECOCIDAL AND ETHNOCIDAL CORE OF THE FINAL FORM OF THE MINING LAW AND THE CURRENT MINING POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
WE DEMAND THAT CONGRESS AHO THE GOVERNMENT RATIFY CONVENTION 169 OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION AND THE APPROVAL OF THE LAW OF TOWNS , COMMUNITIES , AND INDIGENOUS CULTURES THAI WILL RESPECT THE NATIONAL , SOCIAL , AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIRES IN THE EXPLOITATION AND ENJOYMENT OF THE COLLECTIVE HERITAGE OF OUR SOIL AND SUBSOIL.
